In early 2022, more than 1 billion people worldwide are obese, 650 million adults, 340 million adolescents, and 39 million children, and the number is still increasing.

WHO further estimates that by 2025, approximately, 167 million people (adults and children) will become less healthy as a result of being overweight or obese. This is expected to become a health crisis in the future if not looked into.
