The prevalence of overweight males in Argentina exhibited a steady increase from 64.4 in 2013 to 69.7 in 2023. Year-on-year variations indicate a consistent upward trend, with minor fluctuations. Over the last two years, the prevalence increased by 0.72% each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years was approximately 0.73%, indicating a gradual rise in overweight rates.
Future trends to watch for include a projected continued increase, reaching 71.9 by 2028, with a forecasted 5-year CAGR of 0.48%. This suggests a slower growth rate in the future, but the overall prevalence is anticipated to keep rising, warranting interventions to mitigate this public health challenge.
