In a recent development, some parts of Africa best known for looking for charity for hunger are now facing the opposite problem: an obesity epidemic.
“In terms of Africa, obesity is a growing problem. Some countries are really experiencing high levels,” said Shane Norris, head of the new African Centre for Obesity Prevention, which launched in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
WHO reports that around 13 % of african children will be overweight in 2020 as compared to 8 % in 2010.
Obesity is a known risk factor of diabetes and high blood pressure. Though the rates are well below than global average but Norris argued that unless the issue was addressed soon, obesity levels on the continent would become as high as those in Europe and North America.
This can be considered as an unintended side-effect of Africa’s economic growth.
“Some countries are already experiencing quite high levels of obesity, others aren’t,” he said. “[But] the trend is that more and more African countries, as they economically develop, will face obesity-related challenges.
“We can’t stop economic growth and we wouldn’t want to, but how can we put other things in place to counter the potential ill-health effects of the economic development?”
South Africa, the continent’s most developed country, is leading the trend. Last year, local papers branded it “the fattest nation in sub-Saharan Africa” after figures showed that 26.8% of the 55 million-strong population were obese, costing the government R23 billion (£1bn) in prevention campaigns and combating obesity-related illnesses.
