Today is World Obesity Day. A date created in 2015 by World Health Organization with the objective of increasing awareness, encourage advocacy, improve policies, and share experiences. According to the World Obesity Atlas 2022, there are 360 million people in Latam with #overweight or #obesity, which responds to 58% of the population. Each country faces different challenges when dealing with obesity. At Novo Nordisk, we work hard to drive change and to see obesity recognized as a chronic disease, breaking down the stigmas. Our goal is to increase the quality of life of people so they can live their best lives. This is our goal and our purpose. #DrivingChange #Worldobesityday

Today is World Obesity Day. It is estimated that 1 in 4 of us (or 1.9 billion people worldwide) will be living with obesity by 2035. Whether it be a personal challenge, or one faced by a family member or friend- it is important that we increase the conversations around how we overcome this global challenge, take stock of our own self care and the healthcare of others. Since 2015, World Obesity Days have encouraged people to recognise the root causes of obesity, increase knowledge of the disease, tackle weight stigma, foreground the voices of people with lived experience and act to improve the world’s understanding, prevention and treatment of obesity.

Obesity is a complex interaction of different factors, for different people, in different countries and cultures. One universal strategy for every person is never going to be the solution. That’s why this year’s World Obesity Day is opening up a wider conversation. We want to leverage the power of World Obesity Day to start cross-cutting conversations. Looking at health, youth and the world around us to see how we can address obesity together. This World Obesity Day, let's share knowledge, advocate together, and see obesity from a different perspective. Let's talk about obesity and highlight its connections to a host of global issues. Let's talk about obesity and challenge damaging misconceptions that halt progress. Let's talk about obesity and influence policy to embed obesity prevention and management in our food, infrastructure and healthcare systems, globally. You can consult a General Surgeon about your options to address your obesity.

1 in 8 people worldwide are now living with obesity. Obesity is a complex disease, with massive economic repercussions. Where we live, the food systems around us, and our opportunities to be active impact our risk of developing obesity. To date, 31 countries are leading the way to curb obesity by implementing the World Health Organization acceleration plan to stop obesity. My colleague Francesco Branca in a conversation with Vismita Gupta-Smith explains - in less than 5 minutes -  some things you may want to know about obesity. The latest data is now available in The Lancet https://lnkd.in/g36bmmek

Being proactive today to impact tomorrow. Addressing Functional Longevity, is the capacity to maintain physical, mental, and social function with increasing age. At the global population level, we are living 19 years longer today compared to 1960. However, this is not paralleled by increased years in good health, meaning we are living longer in ill health than ever before. #healthyaging #globalhealth
