The top countries in the world for average daily calorie consumption are:

Austria: 3784 Turkey: 3680 U.S.: 3639 Egypt: 3557 Germany and Italy: 3539

Weighing Heavy on a Global Scale Obesity is Increasing,

But So Are Treatment Options

3 million people worldwide die from

weight related causes

3 common health conditions resulting from being overweight

Heart disease Stroke Diabetes

671 million obese people worldwide

10 countries = over ½ obese population U.S., China, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Egypt,

Germany, Pakistan and Indonesia

37% of adults and 14% of children are overweight or obese

# of overweight or obese adults increased

The South Pacific islands have the highest rates, for example Tonga:

8.3% of world’s population

(387 million) have

Diabetes and 60% live in Asia

205 million people worldwide are expected to develop diabetes by 2035.

Newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes in children up

from 3% in 2001 to 45%

In U.S. 86% drive to work

with 33% obesity rate.

½ Chinese walk/bike to work along with many Swedes, Dutch and French

= less than 20% obesity rate

New treatment innovations: • The MAESTRO System, a pacemaker-like device for the stomach controls hunger and

fullness by blocking vagus nerve activity. • The ReShape Duo, a double balloon that is filled with saline and placed in the

stomach for 6 months. The Elipse™ system and the Obalon® balloon are other balloon therapy options being reviewed.

• Gelesis100 (a cross between a pill and a device) is filled with tiny particles that soak up water and expand in the stomach.

• The EndoBarrier® is a thin, flexible liner placed at the beginning of the intestine and blocks food from a portion of the intestinal wall, purportedly altering the release of hormones.
