More than half the world’s population will be regarded as obese or overweight by 2035 if action is not taken, the World Obesity Federation warns. Obese is a medical term used to describe a person with an excess of body fat.

Its report says, more than four billion people will be affected, with rates(比率) rising fastest among both boys and girls. The rates are expected to double from 2020 levels among them. The report predicts the cost of obesity will be to more than $4 million million (£3.3 million million) every year by 2035.

The report also stresses that low or middle-income countries in Africa and Asia are expected to see the greatest rises. The first reason lies in that people there prefer to eat highly processed foods. In the second place, they are likely to sit too long. Thirdly, in those countries, there are fewer policies to control food supply and marketing. Last but not the least, people there are short of healthcare services to help in weight management and health education.

The president of the federation, Louise Baur, described the report’s findings as a clear warning to countries to act now. If they don’t take any action, they will be faced with endless bad effects in the future. Baur said that governments and policymakers around the world need to do all they can to avoid passing health, social, and economic costs on to the younger generation(一代人). They should find out what are the root causes of obesity.

The data published in the report will be presented to the UN on Monday.
