Overweight and obesity have reached epidemic proportions in the WHO European Region, affecting almost 60% of adults.
To make a difference this #WorldObesityDay, we need to have conversations to change outdated perspectives, correct misconceptions & end stigma.
#WODEurope
Recognition by health systems that #obesity is a chronic disease is shifting thinking around access to care.

Obesity is a disease, not a lifestyle choice.
Managing #obesity as a chronic disease results in significant cost savings to healthcare systems.

Forecasts suggest that if European governments devoted existing resources allocated to weight management to more cost-effective approaches, some countries could save up to 60% of the cost of treating obesity.

By approaching #obesity in the same way as other non-communicable diseases, we could prevent complications of obesity and other major #NCDs.
