From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of
obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant
variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We
investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains
changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in
different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies with
187 million participants. Changes in the prevalence of underweight and
total obesity, and to a lesser extent severe obesity, are largely driven
by shifts in the distribution of BMI, with smaller contributions from
changes in the shape of the distribution. In East and Southeast Asia and
sub-Saharan Africa, the underweight tail of the BMI distribution was
left behind as the distribution shifted. There is a need for policies
that address all forms of malnutrition by making healthy foods
accessible and affordable, while restricting unhealthy foods through
fiscal and regulatory restrictions.
