The global cost of obesity is expected to be in the trillions of dollars as obesity rates in the U.S. and worldwide skyrocket.
The global economic impact of obesity in 2035 is expected to be comparable to that of COVID-19 in 2020, according to a new report by the World Obesity Federation.
The economic impact of obesity is expected to reach $4.32 trillion annually by 2035, the World Obesity Federation said in its yearly atlas release this week. Beth Czerwony, a registered dietitian with the Cleveland Clinic, said convenience is a big factor in rising obesity rates. In the U.S., obesity rates have gradually increased year after year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 33% of American adults were considered obese in 2021. That’s up from 27% in 2011. The CDC also noted jumps in adolescent and childhood obesity in the U.S. from 2011-19.
