In Greece, overweight and obesity are associated with an annual economic burden of 3.4 billion euros, or 328 euros per inhabitant.
The findings of a study conducted by the UN Office for Health Economics are heartbreaking - 278,000 deaths are recorded in Europe every year. 56% of the population in Europe is overweight or obese (2024), while the same applies to one in three children. The significant burden on the health and economy of European countries is reflected in a new report published today.
More than half of Europe's population, specifically 56%, is overweight or obese, while a similar picture is recorded in approximately one in three children.
