As of 2023, Italy had a self-reported obese male population of 13%. From 2024 onwards, forecasts indicate a gradual increase in obesity rates among men: 13.3% in 2024, 13.5% in 2025, 13.7% in 2026, 13.8% in 2027, and 14% in 2028. This suggests a steady year-on-year growth, with percentages reflecting slight increases each year. Over the five-year period, this equates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.46%.
Future trends to watch for include lifestyle changes, preventive health measures, and policy interventions that could alter this trajectory. Monitoring socioeconomic factors and public health initiatives will be crucial in understanding and impacting future obesity rates.
