Resolves YES as soon as the number is higher, even if it subsequently goes down. Resolves NO at end of 2035. Only living humans with physical bodies count. Ages five and over.

For the purposes of the report and this market, those with a body mass index (BMI) of 25+ are judged to be overweight or obese. This market will use the 2023 definition of BMI.

Numbers from the World Obesity Atlas are preferred, as this market is based on their pseudo-prediction, as reported.

I think that will be the case, obesity is a very serious problem today. Looking at my circle of friends, every third person is slightly but still overweight. I also had extra pounds but started to play sports and watch my diet. I found a lot of interesting supplements on Canadian Pharmacy Partner that can help improve metabolism. Still, I have hope that people will become smarter and start playing sports more.
