A new report by the McKinsey Global Institute says that the global cost of
obesity has risen to $2-trillion annually nearly as much as smoking or
the combined impact of armed violence, war and terrorism.
.
The report released Thursday focused on the economics of obesity and says
2.1 billion people some 30 per cent of the global population are
overweight or obese.
.
It also offers the stark prediction that nearly half of the worlds adult
population will be overweight or obese by 2030. . . .

Obesity is a critical global issue that requires a comprehensive,
international intervention strategy. More than 2.1 billion peoplenearly 30
percent of the global populationare overweight or obese.1 Thats almost two
and a half times the number of adults and children who are undernourished.
Obesity is responsible for about 5 percent of all deaths a year worldwide,
and its global economic impact amounts to roughly $2 trillion annually, or
2.8 percent of global GDPnearly equivalent to the global impact of smoking
or of armed violence, war, and terrorism.
.
And the problemwhich is preventableis rapidly getting worse. If the
prevalence of obesity continues on its current trajectory, almost half of
the worlds adult population will be overweight or obese by 2030.
.
Much of the global debate on this issue has become polarized and sometimes
deeply antagonistic. Obesity is a complex, systemic issue with no single
or simple solution. The global discord surrounding how to move forward
underscores the need for integrated assessments of potential solutions.
Lack of progress on these fronts is obstructing efforts to address rising
rates of obesity.
.
A new McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) discussion paper, Overcoming
obesity: An initial economic analysis, seeks to overcome these hurdles by
offering an independent view on the components of a potential strategy.
MGI has studied 74 interventions (in 18 areas) that are being discussed or
piloted somewhere around the world to address obesity, including
subsidized school meals for all, calorie and nutrition labeling,
restrictions on advertising high-calorie food and drinks, and
public-health campaigns. We found sufficient data on 44 of these
interventions, in 16 areas.
