In 2016, Senegal's adult obesity rate was 8.8%, placing it 146th in the world. This figure is a reflection of the increasing prevalence of obesity not only in Senegal but also in many other African countries. The rise in obesity rates can be attributed to a variety of factors, including changes in dietary habits, decreased physical activity, and socio-economic factors.
