China, located in East Asia and Southeast Asia, had an adult obesity rate of 6.2% in 2016, ranking 169th globally. This is a significant health concern, as obesity is linked to a variety of serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
Obesity in China[edit | edit source]
The obesity rate in China has been steadily increasing over the past few decades. This is largely due to changes in diet and lifestyle, with a shift towards more sedentary activities and consumption of high-calorie, processed foods. The Chinese government has implemented various initiatives to combat this growing health issue, including public health campaigns promoting physical activity and healthy eating.
