India’s about one third will suffer from obesity by 2050: New Lancet Study
A new lenset study has predicted that 218 million males and 231 million women in India, about one third of the country’s population, will suffer from obesity by 2050.

Over the years, the rate of obesity has seen a trend on one upward. But now a new lenset study has highlighted a obese epidemic, which has been predicted that 218 million men and 231 million women in India, about one -third of the country’s population, will suffer from obesity by 2050.
Researchers estimated overweight and obesity in persons of 25 years and above for 204 countries and regions from 1990 to 2050.
According to the study, obesity has increased rapidly between older teenagers (aged 15 and 24). Among young men, the number of teenagers suffering from overweight or obesity increased from 4 million in 1990 to 16.8 million in 2021 and is expected to reach 22.7 million by 2050.
Among young women, this number increased from 3.3 million in 1990 to 13 million in 2021, showing estimates that it could be 16.9 million by 2050.
In 2021, India had the highest number of overweight or thick young people crossing China and the United States.

Researchers predicted that taking into account historical trends and patterns, which keep on growing, “We guess that by 2050, the total number of individuals over 25 years of age with overweight and obesity will increase globally to 3.80 billion, with 1.95 billion.”
China (with 627 million affected individuals), India (450 million) and USA (214 million) will continue with the largest number of overweight people in three countries.
There are many factors of this obesity crisis. Researchers stated that global epidemics are run by a mob of systemic factors.
He wrote, “In addition to social-environmental factors, commercial determinants are essential in running obesity epidemic. Agricultural subsidy is changing global food production and supply ecosystem, changing dietary materials in all population,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, multinational food and drinking corporations and fast-food chains are transferring their investment from high-or-ore countries to lower and medium-income countries, where population growth, per capita income improvement, and weak rules have created a favorable market for expansion.
India, Cameroon and Vietnam saw the greatest annual growth in the sales of ultra-prosely food and drinks per capita between 2009 and 2019.
In addition to dietary effects, commercial determinants have modified other lifestyle options, sized environment and affected policy and law.
“A few years ago, the heart attack hit Indians in the late 50s, already compared to Western peers than a decade smaller than Western peers. Today, obesity has pulled down the age of 30s. This is not just a link. Bhalala, Senior Advisory, Cardiology, Akash Healthcare explained India tode Digital.
Adult obesity is also associated with childhood obesity.
“Children and teenagers have increased by 244% in the last 30 years with the global proliferation of obesity and an forecasted increase of 121% in the next 30 years, the spread of adult obesity is unlikely to be a trend abetment,” has been read in the Lancet Report.
Speaking of childhood obesity, senior advisor of Pediatrics at PSRI Hospital. Sunita Sharma said that children are consuming more sugary snacks than vegetables.
“Every day, I see a baby as a child as a child such as fatigue, joint pain, even early signs of insulin resistance. The school canteen serve snacks and there is no framework to ensure a balanced diet, while parents are often overwhelmed by work or misunderstanding, often assaulting a sudden weight gain.

Senior Advisor of Endocrinology of Asian Hospital, Dr. Sandeep Kharb said that there is also a major reason for the development of obesity as carbohydrates are cheap and essential nutrients have become luxury.
“Rural obesity processed snack attacks are climbing as villages. Especially relying on low -income public distribution system, consume more carbohydrates through staples like rice and wheat. We can instruct people to eat better, but if these foods are ineffective then it is not possible.”
With more than 3.80 billion people to weight over 25550 and to become thick, Lancet researchers stated that polychris “will lead to more unnatural adverse health results in the coming decades in the coming decades than any other convertible risk at the individual level in the coming decades.”
He said that although anti-motor drugs promise, complete and public health strategies are important for a permanent effect.
