We explore how a global shift in the food system caused by global economic growth, increase in available food per capita and in food processing is a driver of the obesity epidemic.
Economic development in most areas of the world has resulted in increased purchasing power and available per capita food. Supermarkets and a growing fast-food industry have transformed our dietary pattern. Ultra-processed food rich on sugars and saturated fat is now the major source of energy in most countries. The shift in food supply is considered a major driver of the obesity epidemic and the increasing prevalence of accompanying complications, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. However, the global shift might also have direct effects on the increase in type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, independently of overweight and obesity. The shift in the food supply is a major driver of the obesity epidemic.
我们探讨全球经济增长、人均可获得食物量增加以及食品加工的发展所导致的全球食物系统转变如何成为肥胖流行的一个驱动因素。
世界上大多数地区的经济发展导致了购买力的提高和人均可获得食物量的增加。超市和不断发展的快餐业改变了我们的饮食模式。富含糖和饱和脂肪的超加工食品如今在大多数国家已成为主要能量来源。食物供应的转变被认为是肥胖流行以及诸如2型糖尿病、心血管疾病和癌症等伴随并发症患病率不断上升的一个主要驱动因素。然而，全球食物系统的转变可能也会对2型糖尿病、心血管疾病和癌症的增加产生直接影响，而与超重和肥胖无关。食物供应的转变是肥胖流行的一个主要驱动因素。
