The global burden of disease attributable to high body mass index in 195 countries and territories, 1990 –2017: An analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study
ConclusionsIn this study, we observed that the number of global deaths and DALYs attributable to high BMI has substantially increased between 1990 and 2017. Successful population-wide initiatives targeting high BMI may mitigate the burden of a wide range of diseases. Given the large variations in high-BMI-related burden of disease by SDI, future strategies to prevent and reduce the burden should be developed and implemented based on country-specific development status.
