超重和肥胖的流行对全世界的慢性病预防和整个生命过程的健康提出了重大挑战。在过去30年里，由于经济增长、工业化、机械化运输、城市化、久坐不动的生活方式以及向加工食品和高热量饮食的营养过渡，许多国家的肥胖症发病率翻了一番，甚至翻了两番。特别是儿童肥胖症患病率的上升，预示着未来几十年个人和医疗保健系统将面临惊人的疾病负担。肥胖是一种复杂的多因素疾病，具有遗传、行为、社会经济和环境根源，增加了使人衰弱的发病率和死亡率的风险。主要依靠在过去十年中发表的流行病学证据，这一非详尽的审查讨论了肥胖流行病的程度，其风险因素，已知的和新的，后遗症和经济影响在整个地球仪。
The epidemic of overweight and obesity presents a major challenge to chronic disease prevention and health across the life course around the world. Fueled by economic growth, industrialization, mechanized transport, urbanization, an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, and a nutritional transition to processed foods and high calorie diets over the last 30 years, many countries have witnessed the prevalence of obesity in its citizens double, and even quadruple. Rising prevalence of childhood obesity, in particular, forebodes a staggering burden of disease in individuals and healthcare systems in the decades to come. A complex, multifactorial disease, with genetic, behavioral, socioeconomic, and environmental origins, obesity raises risk of debilitating morbidity and mortality. Relying primarily on epidemiologic evidence published within the last decade, this non-exhaustive review discusses the extent of the obesity epidemic, its risk factors—known and novel—, sequelae, and economic impact across the globe.
