Slovakia, officially known as the Slovak Republic, is a landlocked country located in Central Europe. It is bordered by Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east, Hungary to the south, Austria to the west, and the Czech Republic to the northwest. Slovakia's capital and largest city is Bratislava.

In 2016, Slovakia had an adult obesity rate of 20.5%, ranking it 98th globally. This statistic is a significant health concern, as obesity is a leading risk factor for numerous health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
