According to the new UNICEF report, for the first time the number of thick children worldwide has exceeded the number of low weight school children and adolescents.

One in 10 children still live with obesity, and the main criminal is the rise of ultra-related foods.

Obesity this year exceeded the lower weight as a more popular form of malnutrition, affecting children and teenagers of school-classes, 188 million, school-age, and put them at risk of deadly disease, UNICEF warned.

This report attracts data from more than 190 countries and the prevalence of low weight in children aged 5–19 years has come down by about 13% to 9.2% since 2000, while the obesity rate has increased from 3% to 9.4%.

Except for sub-Sahara Africa and South Asia, obesity is now higher than low weight in all regions of the world.

According to the findings, many Pacific Island countries have the highest prevalence of obesity globally, including 38% of children aged 5 to 19 in NIUE, 37% in Cook Islands and 33% in Nauru.

These levels, which have doubled since 2000, are inspired by changes in cheap, energy-erosion, imported foods from a large-scale traditional diet.

Meanwhile, high levels of obesity continue in many high-ie countries. For example, 27% of children aged 5 to 19 are obese in Chile, 21% in the United States and 21% in the United Arab Emirates.

“When we talk about malnutrition, we are not talking about children with low weight,” said Katherine Russell, Executive Director of UNICEF. “Obesity is an increasing anxiety that can affect children’s health and development. Ultra-like food is replacing faster fruits, vegetables and proteins, when nutrition plays an important role in children’s development, cognitive development and mental health.”

While malnutrition-like ruin and stunting-is a significant concern among children under 5 in low and moderate income countries, excess weight and obesity between school-class children and adolescents is increasing.

According to the latest available data, 1, or 391 million of 5–19 years of age in the world, or 391 million weighing, one of them is now classified as obesity with a large ratio.

Children are considered overweight when they are much heavier than being healthy for their age, penis and height.

Obesity is a severe form of overweight and is a high risk of insulin resistance and high blood pressure as well as a high risk of developing later life-drugs in life, including type-2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancer.

The report warns that ultra-sustained and fast food-high sugar, sophisticated starch, salt, unhealthy fats and additives-instead of individual choice, are shaping children’s diet through unhealthy food environment.

These products dominate shops and schools, while digital marketing provides powerful access to the food and beverage industry for young viewers.

Last year, in a global survey of 64,000 youths over the age of 13-24, out of the more than 170 countries organized through U-R-Report platform of UNICEF, 75% of the respondents recalled the advertisements of sugar drinks, snacks or fast food in the last week, and 60% said advertisements said that advertisements increased their desire to eat foods.

Even in conflict affected countries, 68% of the youth said they were in touch with these advertisements.
