The projected overweight or obese population in Canada shows a declining trend over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 59.3% in 2024, the proportion decreases gradually to 58.8% by 2028. While the change year-on-year is minimal and represents a marginal decline, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period indicates a slight yet continuous reduction in the overweight or obese population proportions.

Future trends to watch:

Effects of new public health policies and interventions on obesity rates.
Innovations in nutrition and fitness impacting weight management.
Societal shifts in lifestyle and work environments affecting physical activity levels.
