That year, around 16% of adults aged 18 and above were classified as obese. The global obesity rate more than doubled from 1990 to 2022. By 2035, the World Obesity Atlas predicts that over 1 billion people worldwide will be considered obese, which translates into 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men will be affected globally.

A total of 427 academic staff members participated in the study. A two-stage cluster sampling procedure was used to select study participants from their departments.
