Obesity may be a problem of an individual but a recent study by McKensi Global Institute revealed that the obese people are taking a toll on the economies across the World. The study found that 30% of the world population are suffering from this problem and this count is 2.5 times more than that of the people suffering from malnutrition.
The study confirmed that as a result of obesity, the World is spending 2 Lakh Crore Dollars on them which is almost 2.8 GDP of the World. The menace does not end there. 5% of the deaths that occur in the world are due to obesity. The alarming inference drawn is that if Obesity is not countered 50% of the adults across the world will be suffering from this problem.
This study was taken up by MGI in 18 different regions across the World in 74 different health camps conducted. MGI called for immediate Global attention to this problem which is increasing every day even though it can be countered easily. All the heavy weight guys out there! Tone down your weight or gear up to burn a hole in your pocket.
