Overweight and obesity are ranked as the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. Around 38% of people worldwide who are five years of age and older are predicted to be overweight or obese in 2020. This percentage is projected to rise to 51% by the year 2035. Additionally, it is expected that the economic costs of being overweight and obese would rise from 1.96 trillion US dollars in 2020 to 4.32 trillion US dollars in 2035. In a 2022 study of people from 34 different countries, obesity came in fifth when it came to the top health issues confronting their nation, trailing COVID-19, mental health, cancer, and stress. For general health and longevity, it is imperative to maintain a healthy body weight. Regular exercise and a balanced eating regimen can maintain your body as young-looking as possible as you age.
