a,b, Number of children under 5 affected by overweight at a 5 × 5-km resolution (a) and by first administrative units (b). c, Annualized decrease (AD) in overweight prevalence from 2000 to 2017. d, Grid cell-level predicted overweight prevalence in 2025 based on AD achieved from 2000 to 2017 and projected from 2017. Maps reflect administrative boundaries, land cover, lakes and population; gray colored areas have grid cells classified as ‘barren or sparsely vegetated’ and had fewer than ten people per 1 × 1-km grid cell in 2017 or were not included in this analysis39,40,41,42,43,44,45. Maps were generated using ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.
