Global Obesity Epidemiology Insights

Thelansis’s “Global Obesity Epidemiology Insights and Forecast Report (Top 32 Markets) – 2020 To 2040″ provides an analysis of disease burden, characterized by disease definition, kidney biopsy cases, prevalence, incidence, diagnosed cases, severity, comorbidities, and clinical manifestations. Potential patient flow dynamics in disease burden are driven by shifts in demographic indicators and their correlation with age and gender distribution over time. Changes in the reported cases and long-term survival of patients may depend on diet, lifestyle, comorbid conditions, and the availability of interventions or therapies for the 32 markets (North America, Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific, Africa, South / Latin America).

Obesity Overview

Obesity is a complex, chronic disease characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat that impairs health and increases the risk of numerous comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, and musculoskeletal disorders. It arises from an interplay of genetic, environmental, behavioral, and metabolic factors, with energy imbalance—calories consumed exceeding calories expended—being the central driver. Diagnosis is commonly based on body mass index (BMI), with obesity defined as a BMI of 30 or higher, though waist circumference and body composition measures provide additional insight into cardiometabolic risk. Clinical manifestations extend beyond physical health, as obesity is also associated with reduced quality of life, stigma, and psychological distress. Management requires a multifaceted approach combining lifestyle modification, nutritional counseling, physical activity, behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy, and, in severe cases, bariatric surgery. Despite advances in treatment, obesity remains a global public health challenge, underscoring the need for prevention strategies, long‑term care models, and personalized interventions.
