NEW DELHI: Obesity has emerged as one of the most urgent and under-recognised health crises in India, with experts warning that it now functions as a silent tsunami sweeping through the population.
A study published in The Lancet projects that nearly one-third of Indians or approximately 449 million people could be obese by 2050.
This includes an estimated 218 million men and 231 million women.
