More than half of all adults and one -third of children, adolescents and young adults are predicted to suffer more weight or obesity by 2050.

Conclusions come in a new study of published global data Lancet Journal, covering more than 200 countries.

Researchers have warned that obesity levels are predicted to speed up rapidly during the remaining of this decade, especially in low -income countries.

However, experts say that if governments now take immediate action, there is still time to describe as “intensive tragedy”.

By 2021, almost half of the global adult population – one billion male and 1.11 billion women were 25 or older – suffered more weight or obesity.

The proportion of both men and women living with these conditions has doubled since 1990.

If the trend continues, the global rates of more weight and obese adults will increase by about 57.4% for men and 60.3% for women by 2050.

In terms of raw numbers, China (627 million), India (450 million) and USA (214 million) will be the largest population of people with overweight or obesity in 2050.

However, population growth means that forecasts are predicting numbers in sub-city Africa, 250% to 522 million will increase.

Nigeria, in particular, stands out, is estimated to be more than triple with an estimated number – from 36.6 million to 141 million in 2021 to 141 million. This will make it a fourth largest population country of adults who suffer from overweight or obesity.

The authors admitted that the study did not take into account the effect that new weight loss drugs may occur – and they can play an important role in the future.

Experts say that if governments now take immediate action, then there is still time to have a disaster for weak health systems.

The research was led by Professor Emmanuella Gakidau from Health Matrix and Evolution Institute for Health Metrix and Evolution (IHME) at the University of Washington in the US.

He said: “(Governments) can use our country’s specific estimates on the platform, time, and the speed of current and the speed of predicted transitions, the priority of obesity, to identify the population that requires immediate intervention and treatment, and who remain primarily overweight and they must be walked out with mainly prevention strategies.

He said, “The unprecedented global epidemic of overweight and obesity is an intensive tragedy and a monumental social failure,” he said.

Obesity rates are still increasing, especially among young people.

Obesity rates (from 8.8% to 18.1%) in children and younger teenagers and young adults (less than 25 – 9.9% to 20.3%) exceeded between 1990 and 2021.

However, one of the three youths will be affected by 2050.

Report-headed writer, Dr. of Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Australia. Jessica Cair says that the figures present a real challenge to health care systems in the coming years.

“But if we work now, it is still possible for children and teenagers to stop a complete infection for global obesity,” he said.

“Our estimates identify children and teenagers in Europe and South Asia, which are overweight that must be targeted with obesity prevention strategies.

“We have identified a large population in North America, Australia, Oceania, North Africa and Middle East, and Latin America, especially teenage girls, who expects to tip the predominance of obesity and require immediate, versatile intervention and treatment.

“This is necessary to avoid inter -state transmission of obesity and prevent a wave of serious health conditions and to prevent financial and social costs for future generations.”
