Obesity: Trends in underweight and obesity — scale of the problem, Published online: 24 November 2017; doi:10.1038/nrendo.2017.157

A recent study reports that the global prevalence of paediatric obesity increased to >5% between 1975 and 2016. This increase occurred even as the prevalence of paediatric underweight decreased slightly but remained >8%. These average prevalence changes blur the remarkable regional variations in how prevalence has changed. There is a pressing need to address both underweight and obesity worldwide.
