Obesity Rising in India: Children and Teenagers Most Affected, Says The Lancet Study

A Lancet study reports a sharp rise in obesity in India, increasing from 0.4 million cases in 1990 to 12.5 million in 2022. Children and teenagers (aged 5–19) are the most affected group. Adult obesity has also risen significantly, driven by unhealthy diets, fast food consumption, lack of physical activity, and increased screen time. Experts warn that India is facing a growing double burden of obesity and malnutrition, requiring urgent lifestyle and policy interventions.
