Obesity is a common disease of people all over the world, which province has the largest number of obese people in the world? According to the latest research, there is a serious obesity epidemic in the world, and the number of obese people in China is the first in the world!
On April 2, the lancet, a medical journal, published a study on obesity around the world. Between 1975 and 2014, the obesity rate in men and women more than doubled. According to the study, China has surpassed the United States as the world's most obese country.
In Sichuan, fat people are not alone. Although the obesity rate is not among the top three in the country, there are many obese people because of the large population base. According to the data released by the health and Family Planning Commission of Sichuan Province, the obesity rate in Sichuan reached 11.1% in 2014, which exceeded the total population of Switzerland, Austria and other countries. From 2005 to 2014, the number of fat people in Sichuan doubled. There are more than 4.7 million new fat people, who can live in several small and medium-sized cities.
Where are the obese people in China? The results of the second periodic study of China's obesity index published in October 2015 give the answer: the obesity rate in the north is significantly higher than that in the south. Among them, Hebei, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang are in the top three respectively. The three provinces with the lowest obesity rate, Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, are all in the south.
Wang Jingzhong, a researcher at the Institute of nutrition and health of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and prevention, has previously analyzed that 'fat in the north and thin in the South', in addition to weather factors, is also related to the diet structure. There are too many foods with less grains and high fat and cholesterol, and he likes' drinking a cup ', which makes northern people more prone to obesity.
