In 2023, the self-reported overweight or obese population in Brazil stood at approximately 58.6% of the population. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast data suggests a steady increase in the percentage of the population falling into this category, rising from 59.1% to 61%. Year-on-year, the overweight or obese population is expected to grow consistently by about 0.5 percentage points annually, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period being approximately 0.5%.
Future trends to watch for include the influence of health awareness campaigns to potentially slow the growth of the overweight or obese population. Additionally, economic factors may impact disposable income and access to healthier lifestyle choices. Monitoring these aspects could provide further insights as public health initiatives and economic conditions evolve.
