According to several articles published in The Lancet, over one billion people worldwide are living with obesity. This figure was reached earlier than anticipated, with a significant increase in obesity prevalence in low-income and middle-income countries. In many nations, obesity has surpassed underweight as the more common condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that there were 226 million obese adults, adolescents, and children in the world in 1990, which had risen to 1,038 billion by 2022.
