The yearly health benefits of treating the effects of obesity like diabetes and heart disease is really alarming. We’re utilizing World Obesity Day this past year to accent the cost-savings of handling obesity today instead of waiting to take care of the co-morbidities later. Continual surveillance from World Obesity has demonstrated how obesity incidence has increased dramatically over the last ten decades and having an estimated 177 million adults suffering severe obesity by 2025, it’s apparent that physicians will need to act now to decrease this burden in their national markets.”
Johanna Ralston, Chief Executive Officer of the World Obesity Federation stated, “Addressing obesity today instead of treating the consequences will be clearly likely to become lifesaving and cost-saving, and also an effective way for authorities to satisfy their NCD aims. There’s currently a real urgency to incorporate obesity services into international health care programmes. The World Obesity Federation is here to assist authorities to fulfill this challenge.”
