Thank you for being part of #ObesityCareWeek 2026! Your voices, stories and advocacy made this week meaningful. While the week may be ending, the work continues. Stay engaged, stay connected and keep advocating for respectful, equitable, evidence-based obesity care.
Obesity is shaped by complex biological, genetic and environmental factors, yet myths still influence public opinion and policy. During #ObesityCareWeek, we share evidence-based education to help patients, providers and decision-makers act on facts. https://t.co/Y5ZL38ms5s
Over 543 million children are believed to be living with overweight or obesity in 2025.
That’s more than half a billion children facing higher risks of early NCDs - in a world where unhealthy food environments are stacked against them.

No child should be bullied or left out because of their body size. 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 4 boys with excess weight face daily teasing and rejection — and it can leave lifelong scars.
Let’s change that. When kids feel included, they thrive. Sign the petition to help end weight-based bullying and make youth sports and activities welcoming for every child: https://t.co/mgW94HKAkX

🏥 Only 13 countries have adequate health system readiness to address obesity, despite a projected 110% increase in adults living with obesity by 2030.
We need a "whole-society approach" to build resilient health systems.
