Obesity, considered a non-infectious pandemic, is known to increase the risk o ovarian cancer and decrease the likelihood of surviving the disease.

According to a new study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, women with obesity might share the disease's risk with their daughters but not with their sons

In India, 11% of the population will be obese with a very high annual increase of 5.2% in adult obesity between 2020-2035 and 9.1% increase in childhood obesity

Childhood obesity among boys and girls in India is likely to see an annual rise of 9.1 per cent by 2035, if prevention, treatment and support do not improve.

Several types of cancers, infertility, depression, tendency to commit suicide, sexual dysfunction, arthritis, osteoporosis etc., too get either onset or accelerated by obesity.

The national Anti-Obesity day is celebrated on November 26 every year to create awareness of dangers of obesity and prevention of the pandemic.
