A research study has revealed that there are nearly 650 million obese adults on the planet, which is defined by having a body mass index (BMI) over 30. There are also about 125 million obese children and adolescents in the entire world according to a BMI over 30. The report obtained by BrandSpur Nigeria from Renewbariatrics, publisher of the 2017 index shows that majority of obese people on the planet reside in a few countries, in fact, the top 10 countries contribute half the entire world’s obesity.
