The YouTube video "Epidemia global da OBESIDADE: Doença atinge UM BILHÃO de pessoas, segundo OMS" (Global Epidemic of OBESITY: The Disease Affects OVER ONE BILLION PEOPLE, According to WHO) highlights the escalating issue of obesity worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over one billion people, including 160 million children and adolescents, currently live with obesity. In Brazil, 34% of young people aged 5-19 were overweight or obese in 2020, and this number is projected to impact over 20 million people by 2035. The World Obesity Federation's document indicates that out of 41 million Brazilians in this age group, 15 million were overweight or obese in 2020. If current trends persist, this number could reach 130 million people by 2035. Obesity not only affects individuals but also poses a public health concern, leading to various health issues such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory problems, and even dementia at a younger age.
