Miliarde de euro cheltuiți anual pentru obezitate și supraponderabilitate. Unde se clasează România?

Obesity and overweight are costing European economies billions annually, comparable to national spending on housing or defense. A report highlights that healthcare costs related to these issues range from 0.7% to 1.4% of GDP in various countries. By 2024, 26% of European adults are expected to be obese, with projections indicating that by 2035, half of the global adult population will be affected. The report emphasizes the need for addressing obesity to protect health systems and ensure sustainable growth. Direct and indirect costs, including premature mortality and economic inactivity, significantly impact public health and finances across Europe.
