Obesity rates - world atlas - the predictions for Ireland and Greece
More than a billion people around the world will be obese by 2030 – double the number there was in 2010, according to new global estimates.
No country is on track to meet the World Health Organization’s (WHO) target to halt obesity by 2025, with one in five women and one in seven men predicted to have the condition by 2030.
Obesity has been rising fastest in low- and middle-income countries. Over the next eight years, the number of people with obesity is predicted to triple in low-income countries, compared with 2010.
The new figures come from the fourth World Obesity Atlas, produced by the World Obesity Federation. Its chief executive, Johanna Ralston, said political and health leaders needed to recognise the gravity of the situation and act.
See pages 33-35 for Europe, at the World Obesity Atlas.
Across the European region, almost 1 in 3 men (29.42%) and women (29.97%) are predicted to have a BMI of ≥30kg/m2 by 2030. This equates to approximately 102 million men and 113 million women in the region at risk of the complications of obesity by 2030. Of these, over 26 million men are predicted to have a BMI of ≥35kg/m2 and almost 6 million are predicted to have a BMI of ≥40kg/m2 , while 44 million women are predicted to have a BMI of ≥35kg/m2 and 14 million a BMI of ≥40. 63 million men and 83.5 million women in the European region had a BMI of ≥30kg/m2 in 2010.
