📢On the final day of #NCDweek, we call on stakeholders to strengthen their commitments to tackling NCDs. Research projects like DigiCare4You which aim to implement and evaluate innovative solutions to improve the prevention and management of #type2diabetes and #hypertension are key in helping curb the rise of these epidemics and improve the quality of life of those diagnosed. The time to lead is now! #ActOnNCDs

📈 The rising prevalence of obesity The world is facing an unprecedented rise in obesity rates, especially among children and adolescents. Here are some key stats: 👧 Girls: Obesity rates have skyrocketed from 1.7% in 1990 to 6.9% in 2022, affecting 65.1 million girls globally. 👦 Boys: Obesity rates in boys have risen from 2.1% to 9.3%, with 94.2 million boys now living with obesity. 👶 Under 5s: 37 million children under the age of 5 are living with overweight, with the majority in South Asia, East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Pacific. For adolescents and children aged 5-19, the numbers are even more alarming: 🧒 159 million children and adolescents are living with obesity. Obesity rates have quadrupled worldwide since 1990. Among adults, the crisis is just as severe: 🌍 878 million adults are now living with obesity, quadrupling in total since 1990. 👨👩The prevalence among women has more than doubled, and for men, it has nearly tripled between 1990 and 2022. ❗️ This isn’t just about numbers – these rising rates are a call to action. We need urgent, coordinated global efforts to halt and reverse this trend. 👉 It’s time for change. Let’s work together to address #obesity. #GlobalHealth #NCDWeek #HealthForAll #RisingPrevalence #ChildObesity #ActOnNCDs #LeadOnNCDs

For far too long, the world has ignored the growing obesity crisis – and the consequences are devastating. 🌍 Obesity rates are soaring, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, and the global response has been wholly inadequate. As we head into the Global Week for Action on #NCDs, we’re demanding action on #obesity. Governments are missing their targets, resources are limited, and people living with obesity are being left behind. 🚨 It’s time to turn our outrage into opportunity. This is our call to leaders, health organisations, and the global community: recognise obesity as a disease, fund solutions, and prioritise it in health policies. Join us this week in demanding accountability and pushing for real change. Together, we can turn the tide on #obesity and NCDs. 💪 ➡️ worldobesity.org/news/a-year… #YearOfOutrage #NCDWeek #GlobalHealth #ObesityCrisis #ActOnNCDs #LeadOnNCDs

It is #NCDWeek. Spread the word and better your health! This week reminds us to be ahead of our health by taking charge with simple health challenges like staying active, eating well and regular check ups. Let us tackle NCDs and improve our health and that of our Uganda! #BigOnCare #LeadOnNCDs

To end #NCDWeek 🥳, the #LACDA would like to showcase #YMCA Youth Institute (YI) at our Carmelitos Housing Development 🏠. The YI provides a space for #youth to socialize, learn, and receive homework help. Through #CDBG funding, we were able to provide improvements to the YI.

Today, we are showcasing the Willowbrook Library and Gateway at Willowbrook for #NCDWeek 🥳. The #LACDA provided vital funding for the unique project, which combines a 105-unit affordable senior housing development with a #LACountyLibrary. #Housing #Seniors #CommunityDevelopment
