Childhood Obesity Market Analysis and Reports | UK Conference Series

Market Analysis - Childhood Obesity 2024

In England as a whole, childhood obesity is growing and is a major issue facing London. Data for 2010/11 indicates that 12.9% of kids aged 4-5 and 26.2% of kids aged 10-11 were at danger of obesity in London. For both age groups, this is greater than the English average. The proportion believed to be at danger of being obese has remained comparatively static over the past three years for kids aged 4-5 in London. Among the age group of 12-13, the percentage of those at risk of being obese has increased slightly over the last three years. Boys are at greater risk of being obese than girls for both age groups. The prevalence of children at risk of obesity is highest in the most deprived areas and there is significant inequality across London. Children from certain ethnic minority groups such as Bangladeshi, Black Caribbean and Black African were found to be at a higher risk of obesity but analysis by the National Obesity Observatory suggests that ethnicity is not as strongly linked to obesity as deprivation because weight differences between ethnic groups may be linked to differences in body composition and other physical categories such as height.

There are currently no projections at London level for child obesity. National projections based on data from the 1993-2004 Health Survey for England show that a quarter of young people under the age of 20 will be obese by 2050. Data from 1993-2007 suggest that there has been a positive shift in healthy weight levels among children over the last few years at the national level and this is reflected in the weight levels forecast for 2023. However, the increase in obesity that has already occurred should not be ignored, especially since it can take several decades to manifest the nature of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

In the long run, London's overall cost of childhood obesity will be much higher than this because many of the treatment costs and effects of obesity (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers) are unlikely to be incurred until later in life (i.e. not in childhood). This also applies to the wider indirect costs of sickness and premature death, such as loss of productivity; they will be incurred in later life, not in childhood.

In summary, an obese child in London is likely to cost about £33 a year in direct costs that could rise to a total cost of £628 a year (direct and indirect) if they continue to be obese in adulthood.

Importance & Scope:

Childhood obesity is a major public health problem worldwide, with the potential to hinder progress towards the SDGs. The only feasible option to combat the crisis is to consider prevention. Unhealthy diets, malnutrition and sedentary lifestyles are major causes of obesity in children.

Obesity in children is not limited to Europe–it is a global phenomenon. Ending Childhood Obesity urged measures to promote healthy food intake and physical activity, concentrating on early years and environments for children. An estimated 52 million children under 5 years of age were overweight or obese in 2023; almost three-quarters of these children live in Asia and Africa. Preventive measures for obesity must be essential to any effort to stop the worldwide double burden of malnutrition. As such, COSI's country expertise–in producing information and helping countries plan, enforce and review policies–is an important asset for international sharing.

It is predicted that evolving habits and the growing popularity of junk food will lead to an increase in childhood obesity over the next decade. Particular prevalence is expected in developing countries where conventional diets are becoming westernized and starch, sugar, oil and fat consumption rates are increasing. According to the Atlas of Childhood Obesity of the World Obesity Federation, this estimates that by 2030 250 million children and adolescents will be obese.

For the estimated 158 million children and adolescents classified as obese, this is definitely a significant rise. It is anticipated that China (62 million), India (27 million) and the United States (17 million) will have the highest number of obese children worldwide in absolute terms by 2030, while smaller countries will be at greater risk.
