A study says that by 2050, many adults and young people will be fat. Scientists say this will happen more in poorer countries.
China, India, and the US will have the most overweight people. Also, sub-Saharan Africa will have many more overweight people because more people will live there. Experts say that obesity is a big health problem. They think that governments should help now.
When countries get richer, people eat more food. They become fat. Every country is different, but the report has good information to help. If nothing changes, there will be many more overweight people. Many more people will be sick because of that.
