Session & Tracks

Track 1: Childhood Obesity

Childhood obesity is a growing public health concern characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat in children and adolescents. This condition is influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, environmental influences, and lifestyle choices. Poor dietary habits, such as consuming high-calorie, low-nutrient foods and sugary beverages, combined with insufficient physical activity, are major contributors to the increasing rates of obesity among young people. The prevalence of sedentary activities, such as excessive screen time and lack of outdoor play, exacerbates the issue. As a result, childhood obesity has become a global epidemic, affecting children across different socioeconomic backgrounds and regions, the consequences of childhood obesity are far-reaching and extend beyond physical health. Obese children are at a higher risk of developing chronic health conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases at a younger age. Additionally, they often face psychological and social challenges, including low self-esteem, bullying, and depression, which can impact their overall well-being and academic performance. Addressing childhood obesity requires a multifaceted approach that involves parents, schools, healthcare providers, and policymakers working together to promote healthier eating habits, encourage regular physical activity, and create supportive environments that foster healthy growth and development for all children.

Track 2: Childhood Obesity Prevention

At long last, interventions for childhood obesity, counteractive action should be a piece of existing plans and projects that expect to enhance diets and physical movement. Intercessions that use particular settings ought to likewise make progress toward coordination. Much of the time schools, for instance, have possessed the capacity to incorporate conduct change training into their current educational programs, Childhood Obesity anticipation endeavours should be firmly incorporated with different endeavours to control all major NCD hazard factors (counting tobacco utilize, liquor admission, unfortunate eating regimen, and low physical movement). This requires mediation at all levels of society, from groups through to governments, private associations and nongovernmental associations. No transferable sickness chance components are inserted in the structure of society and impacted by numerous ranges of national arrangement. For some low-and centre pay nations, activities for corpulence counteractive action–and NCD anticipation all the more for the most part–should be coordinated with the related issues of sustenance security and under nutrition.

Track 3: Pediatric Nutrition

Pediatric Nutrition is a dietetic practice gathering of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. We are focused on the prosperity and general strength of kids. Pediatric Nutrition assumes a basic part in fetal development and advancement. Pediatric Nutrition alludes to the wholesome needs of ladies amid the antenatal and postnatal period (i.e., when they are pregnant and breastfeeding) and further more may allude to the pre-theoretical period (i.e., puberty). A solid eating regimen enables youngsters to develop and learn. It additionally avoids stoutness and weight-related maladies, for example, diabetes. To give your kid a nutritious eating routine makes half of what is on your youngster's plate foods grown from the ground choose sound wellsprings of protein, for example, lean meat, nuts, and eggs, Serve entire grain bread and oats since they are high in fiber. Lessen refined grains, Broil, barbecue, or steam foods as opposed to fricasseeing them, Limit fast food and garbage nourishment, Offer water or drain rather than sugary organic product beverages and soft drinks.

Track 4: Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, encompasses various procedures designed to help individuals struggling with severe obesity achieve significant weight loss. This type of surgery alters the digestive system to limit food intake and absorption, which can lead to substantial weight reduction and improvements in obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Common types of bariatric surgery include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding. These procedures are typically considered when diet and exercise have failed to produce sustainable weight loss and when obesity poses serious health risks,The decision to undergo bariatric surgery is complex and involves thorough medical evaluation, psychological assessment, and a commitment to long-term lifestyle changes. Post-surgery, patients must adhere to a specific diet, take nutritional supplements, and engage in regular physical activity to ensure successful outcomes and prevent complications. While bariatric surgery can be life-changing, it is not without risks, including potential surgical complications, nutritional deficiencies, and the need for follow-up procedures. Nonetheless, for many individuals, bariatric surgery offers a valuable tool in the fight against obesity, leading to improved quality of life and enhanced overall health.

Track 5: Clinical Nutrition

Clinical nutrition is a branch of healthcare focused on the relationship between food, nutrition, and overall health, particularly in the management and treatment of diseases. It involves assessing the nutritional status of patients, creating personalized dietary plans, and providing nutritional therapy to support recovery and improve health outcomes. Clinical nutritionists work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure that patients receive the most appropriate and effective nutritional support. This field encompasses a wide range of activities, from managing malnutrition and obesity to addressing specific dietary needs related to chronic illnesses like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and gastrointestinal disorders,The importance of clinical nutrition has grown significantly with the increasing recognition of the role diet plays in disease prevention and management. Proper nutrition can enhance the body's immune response, reduce inflammation, and improve overall quality of life. For instance, in hospital settings, clinical nutritionists are vital in developing enteral and parenteral nutrition plans for patients who cannot consume food orally. Additionally, clinical nutrition extends to specialized areas such as pediatric nutrition, geriatric nutrition, and nutrition for athletes, emphasizing the need for tailored dietary approaches across different life stages and health conditions. By integrating scientific research with practical dietary recommendations, clinical nutritionists play a crucial role in advancing public health and individualized patient care.

Track 6: Behavioral & Environmental Factors

Behavioral and environmental factors play a significant role in shaping an individual's health and well-being. Behavioral factors include lifestyle choices such as diet, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. These choices can have profound effects on physical health, influencing the risk of developing chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. For instance, a diet high in processed foods and sugars can lead to obesity and related health problems, while regular exercise can enhance cardiovascular health and overall fitness. Additionally, behaviors like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are linked to a variety of health issues, including respiratory diseases and liver damage. Understanding and modifying these behaviors is crucial for disease prevention and health promotion,Environmental factors encompass a wide range of physical, social, and economic conditions that impact health. These include the quality of air and water, exposure to toxins, availability of green spaces, and the design of urban environments. Socioeconomic factors such as income, education, and access to healthcare also play a crucial role in determining health outcomes. For example, individuals living in areas with poor air quality or high levels of pollution are at greater risk for respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Similarly, access to safe and affordable housing, nutritious food, and healthcare services can significantly influence health and quality of life. Addressing these environmental determinants is essential for creating healthier communities and reducing health disparities.

Track 7: Exercise & Kinesiology

Exercise and kinesiology are deeply interconnected fields that focus on the science of human movement and physical activity. Exercise refers to planned, structured, and repetitive physical activity aimed at improving or maintaining physical fitness and overall health. It encompasses a wide range of activities, from cardiovascular workouts like running and swimming to strength training exercises such as weightlifting. The primary goal of exercise is to enhance various aspects of physical health, including cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve mental health, and enhance the quality of life,Kinesiology, on the other hand, is the scientific study of human movement. It involves analyzing the mechanics, anatomy, and physiology of body movements to understand how muscles, bones, and joints work together to produce motion. Kinesiologists apply this knowledge to develop effective exercise programs, prevent and rehabilitate injuries, and improve athletic performance. The field of kinesiology also explores the psychological and sociological aspects of physical activity, examining how factors such as motivation, behavior, and social environment influence exercise adherence and performance. By integrating principles from biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, and psychology, kinesiology provides a comprehensive understanding of how and why we move, ultimately contributing to the development of strategies to enhance physical health and athletic performance.

Track 8: Obesity and Weight Management

Obesity is a complex health condition characterized by an excessive amount of body fat, which can lead to numerous health complications such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. It is influenced by a combination of genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors. The rise in obesity rates globally can be attributed to changes in dietary patterns, physical inactivity, and sedentary lifestyles. High-calorie, low-nutrient foods, coupled with reduced opportunities for physical activity, contribute significantly to the prevalence of obesity. Additionally, socioeconomic factors, stress, and lack of sleep also play crucial roles in its development, Weight management involves a multifaceted approach aimed at achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Effective strategies include dietary modifications, increased physical activity, behavior therapy, and, in some cases, medical or surgical interventions. Dietary changes often focus on reducing calorie intake while ensuring nutritional adequacy, emphasizing whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Physical activity is essential not only for weight loss but also for improving overall health and preventing weight regain. Behavioral interventions help individuals develop healthier eating habits and coping mechanisms for stress and emotional eating. For some, medications or bariatric surgery may be necessary to achieve significant weight loss and mitigate obesity-related health risks.

Track 9: Childhood Obesity and Effects

Childhood obesity is a critical public health issue that has seen a significant rise in recent years. It is characterized by excessive body fat that can negatively impact a child's health and well-being. Factors contributing to childhood obesity include poor dietary habits, lack of physical activity, genetic predisposition, and environmental influences. The prevalence of high-calorie, low-nutrient foods, combined with sedentary lifestyles driven by screen time and reduced physical activity, has exacerbated the problem. Addressing childhood obesity requires a multifaceted approach involving parents, schools, and communities to promote healthier eating habits and active lifestyles, The effects of childhood obesity are profound and long-lasting. Physically, obese children are at a higher risk of developing serious health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and orthopedic problems. Beyond physical health, childhood obesity can significantly impact mental and emotional well-being. Children with obesity often face stigmatization, bullying, and low self-esteem, which can lead to depression and anxiety. Additionally, the long-term effects extend into adulthood, as obese children are more likely to become obese adults, continuing the cycle of health complications and increasing the burden on healthcare systems. Addressing and preventing childhood obesity is crucial for fostering a healthier future generation.

Track 10: Diabetes and Obesity

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition characterized by the body's inability to properly regulate blood sugar levels. It primarily manifests in two forms: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leading to a deficiency of insulin. Type 2 diabetes, which is more common, occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas fails to produce sufficient insulin. Both types result in elevated blood sugar levels, which, if left unmanaged, can lead to serious complications such as cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, kidney failure, and vision problems. Effective management typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes, monitoring blood sugar levels, and in some cases, medication or insulin therapy, Obesity, characterized by excessive body fat, is a significant risk factor for the development of Type 2 diabetes. The relationship between obesity and diabetes is well-documented; excess fat, particularly abdominal fat, leads to inflammation and a greater release of fatty acids, which can interfere with insulin signaling and glucose metabolism. This interference can result in insulin resistance, a key factor in the development of Type 2 diabetes. Moreover, obesity contributes to various other health problems such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. Addressing obesity through lifestyle interventions like diet and exercise, along with medical treatments when necessary, is crucial for reducing the risk of diabetes and improving overall health outcomes.

Track 11: Current Research on Obesity

During the previous 20 years, obesity among grown-ups has risen altogether in the United States. The most recent information from the National Center for Health Statistics demonstrates that 33% of U.S. grown-ups 20 years old and more established—more than 100 million individuals—are stout. This expansion is not restricted to grown-ups, but rather has likewise influenced youngsters. Among youth, 18 percent of kids matured 6-11 years and 21 of youngsters matured 12–19 years are viewed as hefty. These rates of heftiness have significant ramifications for Americans' wellbeing. Albeit one of the national well-being goals for the year 2020 is to diminish the commonness of stoutness among grown-ups by 10 percent, current information shows that the circumstance is not progressing. Hopkins GIM employees are examining overweight the full scope of its characteristic history and difficulties, and in addition attempting to battle the plague by exploring different techniques and interventions.

Track 12: Genetics of Obesity

In 2001, six genes were connected to monogenic human heftiness and no normal variations were reproducibly connected with polygenic weight. By 2008, advance in the field prompted the revelation of eight monogenic genes and four polygenic genes (FTO, PCSK1, MC4R, CTNNBL1) from related examinations at the extensive level of importance. The current development of the all-inclusive affiliation thinks about (GWAS) has prompted promote leaps forward in quality distinguishing proof and now nine loci are perceived to be associated with Mendelian types of corpulence alongside 58 loci adding to polygenic heftiness. In this survey, we will talk about what we have gained from this current advance in clarifying the atomic premise of weight. We propose ignore of significant lessons gained from 15 years of research in the field of the hereditary qualities and weight.

Track 13: Healthy Eating

Healthy eating is not about strict dietary constraints, remaining unreasonably thin, or denying yourself of the food you adore. Healthy eating is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle, encompassing the consumption of a variety of foods that provide essential nutrients and energy. A balanced diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Each of these food groups contributes to overall well-being, supporting bodily functions, promoting optimal growth and development, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. For instance, fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help protect the body from harmful free radicals, while whole grains offer dietary fiber that aids digestion and helps maintain a healthy weight, Incorporating healthy eating habits also involves mindful eating practices, such as portion control and paying attention to hunger and fullness cues. Reducing the intake of processed foods, which are often high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, and sodium, is crucial for maintaining health. Additionally, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water and limiting sugary beverages contributes to overall health. Healthy eating not only nourishes the body but also supports mental well-being, enhancing mood and energy levels. By making informed food choices and developing sustainable eating habits, individuals can improve their quality of life and longevity.

Track 14: Food and Nutrition

Nutrition is the science that interprets the association of supplements and different substances in sustenance in connection to support, development, propagation, well-being, and illness of a living being. The eating regimen of a life form is the thing that it eats, which is generally controlled by the accessibility, the preparing and acceptability of nourishments. A less than stellar eating routine can cause inadequacy ailments, for example, visual deficiency, iron deficiency, scurvy, preterm birth, stillbirth and cretinism; well-being undermining conditions like weight and metabolic disorder; and such basic constant foundational illnesses as a cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. A horrible eating routine can cause the squandering of kwashiorkor in intense cases, and the hindering of marasmus in incessant instances of hunger.

Track 15: Obesity and Heart Disease

Until recently the relation between heftiness and coronary illness was seen as circuitous, i.e., through covariates identified with both weight and coronary illness hazard, including hypertension; dyslipidemia, especially diminishments in HDL cholesterol; and debilitated glucose resistance or non–insulin-subordinate diabetes mellitus. Insulin resistance and going with hyperinsulinemia are ordinarily connected with these comorbidities. Albeit the majority of the comorbidities relating obesity to coronary heart disease as BMI expand, they likewise identify with the muscle to fat quotients dissemination. Long haul longitudinal investigations, in any case, show that heftiness all things considered identifies with as well as autonomously predicts coronary atherosclerosis. This connection seems to exist the two men and ladies with negligible increments in BMI. In a 14-year forthcoming examination, moderately aged ladies with a BMI >23 yet <25 had a half increment in danger of nonfatal or deadly coronary illness, and men matured 40 to 65 years with a BMI >25 yet <29 had a 72% expanded hazard. The general connection amongst corpulence and coronary vein sickness dismalness and mortality is less certain for Hispanics, Pima Indians, and African-American ladies.

Track 16: Physical Activity

Physical activity just means the development of the body that utilizations vitality. Walking, gardening, energetically pushing a child stroller, climbing the stairs, playing soccer, or moving the night away are on the whole great cases of being dynamic. For medical advantages, physical movement ought to be the direct or enthusiastic force, Physical activity is any movement that requires energy expenditure, encompassing a wide range of activities from everyday tasks like walking and gardening to structured exercises such as running, swimming, and weightlifting. Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining good health, as it helps to improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen muscles, enhance flexibility, and support mental well-being. Engaging in physical activity can also aid in weight management, reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, and promote overall longevity, The benefits of physical activity extend beyond physical health, as it plays a crucial role in mental health and emotional well-being. Exercise has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve mood, and boost cognitive function. It can also foster social connections and provide a sense of accomplishment, which can enhance self-esteem and overall life satisfaction. Incorporating physical activity into daily routines, whether through structured workouts or integrating movement into everyday tasks, is a vital component of a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

Track 17: Nutritional Science

Nutritional Science is the investigation of the impacts of sustenance parts on the digestion, well-being, execution and illness resistance of human and creatures. It likewise incorporates the investigation of human practice sidentified. Nutritional science is a multifaceted field dedicated to understanding the relationship between food and human health. At its core, it explores how nutrients and dietary patterns influence our well-being, encompassing everything from the molecular mechanisms of nutrient absorption to the broader impacts of diet on chronic diseases. Researchers in nutritional science delve into the biochemistry of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, seeking to unravel how these components interact within the body to support functions such as metabolism, immune response, and cellular repair, Beyond the biochemical aspects, nutritional science also investigates the broader implications of diet on public health. It examines how dietary habits contribute to the prevalence of conditions like obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. This interdisciplinary field draws upon insights from biology, chemistry, physiology, epidemiology, and behavioral science to inform policies and guidelines aimed at promoting optimal nutrition and preventing diet-related diseases. Ultimately, nutritional science plays a crucial role in shaping dietary recommendations, guiding food policy, and advancing our understanding of how nutrition impacts overall health across diverse populations.

Track 18: Malnutrition

Malnutrition is a condition that results from eating a diet in which nutrients are either not enough or are too much such that the diet causes health problems. . Malnutrition remains a critical global health challenge, affecting millions of individuals across all age groups, particularly in developing countries. It encompasses both undernutrition, where individuals lack essential nutrients and calories for proper growth and development, and overnutrition, characterized by excessive intake of unhealthy foods leading to obesity and related diseases. Undernutrition, often prevalent in impoverished regions, can stunt physical and cognitive development in children, weaken immune systems, and increase susceptibility to infections. It is a complex issue influenced by factors such as poverty, inadequate access to nutritious food, lack of education about dietary needs, and environmental conditions, Conversely, overnutrition, prevalent in many developed nations, contributes to a different set of health challenges, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain cancers. This form of malnutrition often results from diets high in processed foods, sugars, and fats, coupled with sedentary lifestyles. Addressing malnutrition requires multifaceted approaches, including improving access to nutritious foods, promoting education on balanced diets, enhancing healthcare infrastructure, and addressing socio-economic disparities that limit individuals' ability to secure adequate nutrition. Global efforts are crucial in combating malnutrition to ensure healthy lives and well-being for all individuals worldwide.

Track 19: Morbid Obesity

Morbid obesity is a condition in which you have a body mass index (BMI) higher than 35. BMI is utilized to evaluate muscle to fat ratio ratios and can help decide whether you are at a sound body weight for your size. BMI is not a flawless estimation but rather it helps give a general thought of perfect weight ranges for stature. Morbid obesity is a severe health condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat, significantly beyond what is considered healthy. It is typically defined by a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, although other factors such as the distribution of fat and associated health risks also play a crucial role in diagnosis. This condition poses substantial health risks, including an increased likelihood of developing serious diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, and respiratory issues. Morbid obesity can significantly impair daily activities and quality of life, as well as shorten life expectancy due to its impact on overall health and well-being, Managing morbid obesity often requires a multifaceted approach involving dietary changes, increased physical activity, and sometimes medical interventions such as weight-loss medications or surgery. Lifestyle modifications, including behavior therapy and counseling, are also integral to addressing the underlying causes of excessive weight gain. Treatment aims not only to reduce weight but also to improve overall health and reduce the risk of associated complications. However, addressing morbid obesity is challenging and requires long-term commitment and support from healthcare professionals, family, and community resources to achieve sustainable weight loss and maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Track 20: Nutrition & Metabolism

Nutrition can be described as the strategy of key food supplements key to fortify human life and wellbeing. Poor nourishment is an endless issue once a while connected with neediness, poor sustenance appreciation and genetic factors, and lacking sanitation and security of nourishment. Lack of healthy food and its results are explanations of death and disability in the world. Nutrition and metabolism are intricately linked processes crucial for sustaining life and maintaining health. Nutrition refers to the intake of food and its utilization by the body for growth, energy, and overall well-being. It encompasses the study of nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, each playing specific roles in various bodily functions. These nutrients are obtained through the diet and are essential for building tissues, regulating metabolism, and supporting immune function. Adequate nutrition is not only about consuming sufficient calories but also about obtaining a balanced array of nutrients to support optimal physiological functioning, Metabolism, on the other hand, refers to the complex biochemical processes through which cells transform nutrients into energy and other substances necessary for life. It involves two main processes: catabolism, which breaks down molecules to release energy, and anabolism, which synthesizes molecules for cellular maintenance and growth. Metabolism is regulated by hormones and enzymes that control the rate at which nutrients are utilized and stored in the body. Understanding the dynamics of nutrition and metabolism is essential for managing weight, preventing diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, and promoting overall health and longevity. Achieving a harmonious balance between nutrition and metabolism is pivotal in maintaining homeostasis and supporting the body's various physiological needs throughout life.

Market Analysis

in England as a whole, childhood obesity is growing and is a major issue facing London. Data for 2010/11 indicates that 12.9% of kids aged 4-5 and 26.2% of kids aged 10-11 were at danger of obesity in London. For both age groups, this is greater than the English average. The proportion believed to be at danger of being obese has remained comparatively static over the past three years for kids aged 4-5 in London. Among the age group of 12-13, the percentage of those at risk of being obese has increased slightly over the last three years. Boys are at greater risk of being obese than girls for both age groups. The prevalence of children at risk of obesity is highest in the most deprived areas and there is significant inequality across London. Children from certain ethnic minority groups such as Bangladeshi, Black Caribbean and Black African were found to be at a higher risk of obesity but analysis by the National Obesity Observatory suggests that ethnicity is not as strongly linked to obesity as deprivation because weight differences between ethnic groups may be linked to differences in body composition and other physical categories such as height.

There are currently no projections at London level for child obesity. National projections based on data from the 1993-2004 Health Survey for England show that a quarter of young people under the age of 20 will be obese by 2050. Data from 1993-2007 suggest that there has been a positive shift in healthy weight levels among children over the last few years at the national level and this is reflected in the weight levels forecast for 2025. However, the increase in obesity that has already occurred should not be ignored, especially since it can take several decades to manifest the nature of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, In the long run, London's overall cost of childhood obesity will be much higher than this because many of the treatment costs and effects of obesity (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers) are unlikely to be incurred until later in life (i.e. not in childhood). This also applies to the wider indirect costs of sickness and premature death, such as loss of productivity; they will be incurred in later life, not in childhood, In summary, an obese child in London is likely to cost about £33 a year in direct costs that could rise to a total cost of £628 a year (direct and indirect) if they continue to be obese in adulthood.

Importance & Scope:

Childhood Obesity is a major public health problem worldwide, with the potential to hinder progress towards the SDGs. The only feasible option to combat the crisis is to consider prevention. Unhealthy diets, malnutrition and sedentary lifestyles are major causes of obesity in children, Obesity in children is not limited to Europe–it is a global phenomenon. Ending Childhood Obesity urged measures to promote healthy food intake and physical activity, concentrating on early years and environments for children. An estimated 52 million children under 5 years of age were overweight or obese in 2025; almost three-quarters of these children live in Asia and Africa. Preventive measures for obesity must be essential to any effort to stop the worldwide double burden of malnutrition. As such, COSI's country expertise–in producing information and helping countries plan, enforce and review policies–is an important asset for international sharing, It is predicted that evolving habits and the growing popularity of junk food will lead to an increase in childhood obesity over the next decade. Particular prevalence is expected in developing countries where conventional diets are becoming westernized and starch, sugar, oil and fat consumption rates are increasing. According to the Atlas of Childhood Obesity of the World Obesity Federation, this estimates that by 2030 250 million children and adolescents will be obese, For the estimated 158 million children and adolescents classified as obese, this is definitely a significant rise. It is anticipated that China (62 million), India (27 million) and the United States (17 million) will have the highest number of obese children worldwide in absolute terms by 2030, while smaller countries will be at greater risk.
