AS the world celebrates International Children’s Day on Nov 20, we would like to bring everyone’s attention to the epidemic of childhood obesity.

The World Obesity Atlas 2022, published by the World Obesity Federation, predicted that the number of people living with obesity is on course to double, and in low income countries the number will even triple. This translates to about one billion people living with obesity by 2030 – with 13% of them being children!
