Obesity: understanding a complex health challenge

Obesity is a chronic, complex disease, not a question of aesthetics or willpower.

Across the WHO European Region, almost 1 in 4 adults live with obesity (BMI ≥30). BMI (Body Mass Index) is a simple indicator based on weight and height used to assess health risk. Childhood obesity also remains alarmingly high in many European countries, especially among children aged 6–9 years.

❤️‍🩹 Obesity significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers and other non-communicable diseases.
It also impacts mental health, quality of life and long-term wellbeing.

But obesity does not happen in isolation. It is shaped by food environments, social inequalities, access to healthy options, marketing exposure, and education.

Prevention must start early, not by promoting body ideals, but by strengthening food literacy, critical thinking, and healthy habits from childhood.

👩‍🍳 At , we contribute to this change by empowering families through hands-on cooking, experiential learning and interactive food education that empowers children to make informed choices for their health.
