The prevalence of underweight decreases in the world population, while overweight and obesity increase. The figure shows the world population by body mass index (BMI) for adults (15+ years) (A) and children (0–14 years) (B) over the period 1965–2100 for different population scenarios of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) in million people. The left side is the middle of the road scenario SSP2, the right side provides comparison to the other SSPs for 2050 and 2100. Colors categorize by absolute body mass index (BMI) for adults, and by standard deviations from WHO growth standards for children. Blue colors indicate underweight, yellow overweight, and red obesity.
