World Obesity Day HistoryWorld Obesity Day aims at raising awareness about the prevalence of obesity and its health implications, alongside addressing the importance of policies and actions required to combat this growing health concern. This Observance recognises that obesity can lead to various health complications, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, certain cancers and mental health issues. Moreover, it seeks to empower individuals with knowledge and resources needed to make informed choices regarding their nutrition and physical activity, in order to promote a healthier lifestyle. World Obesity Day was established and first observed in 2015 by the World Obesity Federation. This health issue has gained significant attention in Australia, where approximately 67% of the adult population is classified as overweight or obese according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. In response to these statistics, the Australian Government has established a framework to address obesity through their National Strategic Framework for Chronic Conditions, which incorporates numerous strategies and partnerships, emphasising prevention and management. World Obesity Day is observed globally on October 11. The Australian government and various health organisations actively promote the event, incorporating a range of workshops, seminars, webinars, and other activities aimed at raising awareness and encouraging lifestyle changes to reduce obesity rates.
