@worldobesity.bsky.socialProtecting children from obesity risks is one of the highest-return investment we can make against the future NCD burden. Governments must prioritise child-focused prevention.
@worldobesity.bsky.social🧒 Over 170 million children aged 5–19 are living with obesity today. That should concern all of us.
On current trends, that rises to over 200 million children with obesity by 2040 – a rise of roughly 30 million in just over a decade.

@worldobesity.bsky.socialAt least 90 million children are already showing early signs of chronic disease caused by high BMI. This is what inaction looks like. 🏛️
