More than a billion people are living with obesity around the world, global estimates published in The Lancet show. This includes about 880 million adults and 159 million children, according to 2022 data.
The highest rates are in Tonga and American Samoa for women, and American Samoa and Nauru for men, with some 70-80% of adults living with obesity.
Out of 200 countries and territories, the UK ranks 55th highest for men and 87th for women.
The international team of scientists say there is an urgent need for major changes in how obesity is tackled.
