Over the past several decades, obesity has grown into a global pandemic.

With nearly 40 percent of adults worldwide classified as overweight or obese, obesity is to blame for dozens of debilitating diseases, increasing costs of healthcare, growing mortality rates and devastating indirect effects that impact the global economy. Fortunately, obesity is largely preventable and treatable.
