A new study projects that more than nearly 260 million Americans will be overweight or obese by 2050. The study was published in the medical journal The Lancet, which released the findings last week. Researchers said by 2050, the total number of children and adolescents with overweight and obesity will reach 43.1 million. They also believe that the total number of adults with overweight and obesity will reach 213 million by 2050.
They also examined historical trends of overweight and obesity from 1990 to 2021. Results showed that in 2201, 15.1 million children and young adolescents were overweight, 21.4 million older adolescents were overweight, and 172 million adults were overweight. The purpose of this story was to motivate the country to come up with policies to combat obesity, researchers said. They believe having more Americans overweight will burden and escalate economic costs. The U.S.
