Obesity is becoming an epidemic across the world. A report by the World Obesity Federation predicts that more than half the world’s population will be overweight or obese by 2035. Currently, one third of the people in the world are considered overweight or obese.
America is not far off from reaching the 50% total. According to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control, almost 42% of Americans are currently considered overweight or obese. Obesity is a serious medical condition that can lead to a range of health problems.
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Cancer
- Sleep apnea
- Joint pain
- Depression
What is Causing Obesity to Rise?
Obesity is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths worldwide. The report urges countries to develop national action plans to prevent and treat obesity before it’s too late.
Researchers say globally, obesity rates have been going up due to:
- An increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in fat and sugars.
- Physical inactivity due to the increasingly sedentary nature of many forms of work,
changing modes of transportation, and increasing urbanization.
Bariatric Surgery Equals Long-Term Weight-Loss
Bariatric surgery can be a powerful tool in the fight against obesity. It helps people lose weight long-term, improve their health, and have a positive impact on their overall well-being.
Another benefit of bariatric surgery is that it can have a rippled effect on those around weight- loss patients. Studies have shown that when one person in a family undergoes bariatric surgery, other family members are more likely to make lifestyle changes and lose weight as well.
