Report | Economic impact of overweight and obesity to surpass $4 trillion by 2035

6 Mar, 2023 | 14:32h | UTC

Summary:

A recent report from the World Obesity Federation has issued a warning that the number of people worldwide suffering from overweight or obesity could increase significantly by 2035, surpassing the 50% mark. The report, called the World Obesity Atlas 2023, also highlights the significant economic impact of this trend, estimating that the cost of overweight and obesity could reach $4.32tn annually by 2035, equivalent to almost 3% of the global GDP.

The report also identifies two groups that are particularly at risk: children and individuals from lower-income countries. Childhood obesity is a growing concern, as the report predicts it could double by 2035. Additionally, lower-income countries face a rapid increase in obesity prevalence, with nine out of 10 countries with the greatest expected increases in obesity coming from low or lower-middle income countries.

RCT | Reducing social media use improves appearance and weight esteem in youth with emotional distress

3 Mar, 2023 | 14:04h | UTC

Summary: The article discusses a randomized controlled trial conducted on 220 participants aged 17-25 to examine the effects of reducing smartphone social media use (SMU) on appearance and weight esteem in youth with emotional distress. The participants were divided into an intervention group (limited to 1 hr/day SMU) and a control group (unrestricted SMU). The study found that reducing SMU improved appearance and weight esteem in the intervention group, while the control group showed no significant change. The authors concluded that reducing SMU may be a feasible and effective method of improving body image in a vulnerable youth population and should be evaluated as a potential component in treating body image-related disturbances. It is worth noting, however, that the impossibility of blinding participants and the subjective nature of the endpoints make it difficult to draw definitive conclusions on the subject.

M-A | Disordered eating affects 1 in 5 children and adolescents

23 Feb, 2023 | 13:33h | UTC

Summary: The text reports the findings of a systematic review and meta-analysis that included 32 studies on the global proportion of disordered eating in children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years, assessed with the SCOFF questionnaire, a widely used screening measure for eating disorders. The review found that approximately 22% of children and adolescents showed disordered eating, which was higher among girls, older adolescents, and those with higher body mass index. The high figures are concerning from a public health perspective and highlight the need for prevention strategies to address disordered eating. The study has limitations, including the cross-sectional nature of most of the included studies and the use of self-report questionnaires to assess disordered eating, which may be subject to bias.
