Answer:

Individuals with obesity spend 40% more on health care costs and 20% more on medications per year than individuals of normal weight.

Explanation:

    Prevention against obesity involves raising awareness of the importance of physical activity and proper nutrition. The sedentary lifestyle, meals with few vegetables and fruits, and the excess of foods with frying and sugar are reflected in the increase of obese people in all age groups.

According to a report released by the World Obesity Federation, treating conditions related to the condition, such as cardiovascular problems, cancers and diabetes, will cost the world about $ 1.2 trillion annually from 2025.
