In 2023, the overweight or obese population (self-reported) in Sweden stood at 51%. The trend forecasted from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent increase in the percentage of the population classified as overweight or obese. The year-on-year variations suggest incremental growth each year: from 2024 to 2025, there's a 0.4% increase, from 2025 to 2026 it grows by 0.3%, from 2026 to 2027 there is another 0.4%, and the same 0.4% increase continues to 2028. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averages at approximately 0.4% per year.
Future trends to watch for include policies or initiatives from the Swedish government aimed at curbing obesity rates, public health campaigns promoting healthier lifestyles, and potential technological innovations in health monitoring. The impact of these factors could significantly alter the forecasted trend, either accelerating or decelerating the rate of increase.
