Obesity is a disease characterized by an excessive fat deposition. It is associated to the development of several comorbidities. The worldwide prevalence of obesity has been rising in the past 30 years. Recent results published in 2015 show a global prevalence of 12% in adults, which amounts to 604 million obese adults in the world. The prevalence of obesity has also increased in children since the 1980s to reach 5% globally. Social categories are differently affected by obesity with the most impoverished ones having the highest rate of obesity and obesity increase. In the French ESTEBAN study of 2015, the prevalence of overweight and obesity was the highest among adults with the lowest education level and among children whose caregiver was without diploma.
肥胖是一种以脂肪过度沉积为特征的疾病。它与多种合并症的发生有关。在过去30年里，全球肥胖患病率一直在上升。2015年公布的最新结果显示，全球成年人肥胖患病率为12%，相当于全球有6.04亿肥胖成年人。自20世纪80年代以来，儿童肥胖患病率也有所上升，全球达到5%。不同社会阶层受肥胖影响程度不同，最贫困阶层的肥胖率和肥胖增加率最高。在2015年法国的埃斯特班研究中，超重和肥胖患病率在教育水平最低的成年人以及照顾者没有文凭的儿童中最高。
