Obesity has almost tripled globally since 1975. More than 1.9 billion people aged 18 and up were overweight in 2016. Over 650 million of them were obese. In 2016, 39% of adults aged 18 and up were overweight, with 13% being obese. Overweight and obesity kill more people than underweight in the majority of the world's population. In the year 2019, 38 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese. In 2016, over 340 million children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 years old were overweight or obese. Obesity can be avoided. Currently, India has over 135 million obese people. Until recently, the body mass index (BMI) was used to measure obesity. By 2020, there will be 158 million obese children around the world, rising to 206 million by 2025 and 254 million by 2030. In reality, India will have the most obese children after China, with 27,481,141 or 27 million, well ahead of the United States' 17 million.

Body mass index (bmi) values reflect the net balance between nutrition, work effort, and calories consumed to fight disease. Nineteenth-century prison records in the United States demonstrate that the bmi values of blacks and whites were distributed symmetrically; neither underweight nor obese individuals were common among the working class. bmi values declined throughout the nineteenth century. By modern standards, however, nineteenth-century bmis were in healthy weight ranges, though the biological living standards in rural areas exceeded those in urban areas. The increase in bmis during the twentieth century did not have its origin in the nineteenth century.

According to the data published by Haslam and James, about 10% of the world populations aged up to 18 areoverweight or obese [1]. In Europe, there are about 20% children with excessive body mass, 5% of whom sufferfrom obesity [2,3]. Childhood obesity is an ongoing epidemic in the United States [4,5]. The most recent data fromthe US indicate that 16.9% of children and adolescents are obese, defined as a body mass index (BMI) for age >95thpercentile [6,7] and there is evidence that the prevalence of obesity among children will reach 30% by 2030 [8].Childhood obesity is a risk factor for greater morbidity later in life, including diabetes, coronary artery disease andincreased mortality [4,5,9,10].
