According to foreign media, a study by Imperial College of Science and Technology found that the number of adult obese people in the world exceeds that of underweight, while the number of obese people in China ranks first in the world.
According to a report on the BBC website on April 1, the authors of the study warned that it is now at the point of “severe obesity epidemic†and urged governments to take action.
The study found that China and the United States are the countries with the most obesity in the world. Among them, the number of male obesity in China is 43.2 million, and the number of female obesity is 46.4 million, ranking first in the world.
Experts say that obese patients will face huge health risks and also bring huge expenses to the health care system.
According to a report on the website of Spain's "Abbeiser" on April 1, a study published by the British "Lancet" magazine recently pointed out that the number of fat people in the world has exceeded the number of thin people. In the last 40 years, the number of obese people has increased rapidly: from 105 million in 1975 to 641 million in 2014. This means that more than 600 million people are obese among the nearly 7.3 billion people in the world.
Researchers at the Imperial College of Science and Technology conducted an analysis of body mass index from 1975 to 2014 for 20 million adults in 186 countries and regions around the world. The results are worrying: the number of male obesity is three times that of 40 years ago, and that of women is twice. In other words, there are currently 266 million male obese people and 375 million female obese people worldwide. Paradoxically, however, the number of underweight people is also increasing: from 330 million to 462 million.
The researchers pointed out that the World Health Organization's global goal of 2025 obesity levels not exceeding 2010 is almost impossible. In fact, the researchers said that if the rate of obesity growth maintains the current rate, then by 2025, about one-fifth of the world's people are obese, with 18% of men's obesity and 21% of women's obesity.
Studies have shown that underweight is still a serious public health problem in poor areas of the world. Researchers have warned that the growing trend of obese people around the world cannot hide the persistence of food shortages and malnutrition in poor countries. For example, in South Asia, nearly one-fourth of the population still weighs below the health standard; the proportion of undernourished people in the Middle East is 15% among men and 12% among women.
The study provides some interesting data: Polynesia in the Pacific and Micronesia are the most prominent, with more than 38% of men obese and more than 50% of women obese. In India, Bangladesh, East Timor, Afghanistan, Eritrea and Ethiopia, more than one in five men are underweight. More than a quarter of women in India and Bangladesh are underweight. Among high-income American and American households, the US population has a higher body fat rate. More than a quarter of men and nearly one-fifth of the world's seriously obese people live in the United States. Nearly one-fifth of the world's adult obese people live in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with a total population of about 118 million.
Spain's "Abbeiser" website reported on April 1 that a study published by the British Autonomous University of Barcelona and other institutions in the British "BMC Public Health" magazine pointed out that nearly half of the fat workers in Spain are in metabolism. The aspect is healthy, expert Alveth Gode said, that is to say, although they are overweight, they do not have abnormal metabolic abnormalities such as insulin signal transduction or inflammation.
But the expert pointed out that the conclusion of the study is not to say that obesity or overweight is a good thing for health. Gody said that this concept must be eliminated. Metabolic health does not mean that it will not suffer from cardiovascular disease, diabetes or cancer. In addition, healthy obese people will not always be healthy. As they grow older, their risk of illness will gradually increase. Big.
Gode ​​said that metabolic health is measured by five metabolic risk indicators: waist circumference, triglycerides, cholesterol levels, blood pressure and blood sugar. In addition to the above conclusions, the results also show that obese people with healthy metabolism are usually younger and more female, and this group prefers exercise and does not like smoking or drinking compared with those with unhealthy metabolism.
