The increasing prevalence and burden of obesity transcends borders,
straining populations worldwide. Data shows that 50 million girls,
74 million boys, 390 million women, and 281 million men were
estimated to have obesity in 2016 (NCD-RisC, 2017). The National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a
workshop on October 9, 2018 to address the status of the global
obesity pandemic and discuss diverse approaches to manage this
problem. Speakers examined the collective prevalence, costs, and
drivers of obesity around the world using cross-cultural
comparisons. Panels and group discussions emphasized the need to
reduce disparities in prevention and treatment efforts and to
generate new policy and system initiatives related to nutrition and
physical activity worldwide. This publication summarizes the
presentations and discussions from the workshop. Table of Contents
