In 2023, the obesity rate among men in Canada stood at 26.6%. Based on forecasted data, by 2024, this rate is expected to be 26.5%, marking a slight 0.38% year-on-year decrease. The trend continues with a gradual decline: 26.4% in 2025, remaining steady in 2026, further decreasing to 26.3% in 2027, and reaching 26.2% in 2028. The year-on-year variation is minimal, averaging a decrease of 0.11% per year, which indicates a very slow downward trend in obesity rates over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of public health initiatives, changes in dietary and physical activity habits among men, and potential shifts in socioeconomic factors that may influence obesity rates. Monitoring these variables can provide further insights into whether the downward trend will continue or if new strategies are required to address the obesity issue effectively.
