## Enunciado

UNICEF reports that, for the first time, global
childhood obesity has surpassed underweight rates, with
one in ten school-aged children now obese, about 188
million worldwide. Meanwhile, one in five children under
19 years old globally, or 391 million, is overweight.

Kids are considered overweight if they carry
excess weight for their age, sex and height, while obesity
is a more severe form that greatly increases the risk of
serious health problems later in life. Between year 2000
and 2022, obesity rates among those aged 5 to 19 more
than tripled from 3% to 9.4%, while underweight cases
fell.

The shift is driven by the rise of ultra-processed
foods, which are replacing fruits, vegetables and
proteins. Obesity hotspots are emerging worldwide,
especially in low and middle-income countries still
battling undernutrition, while wealthy nations like the
United States, United Arab Emirates and Chile also show
high rates. Pacific Island nations face the highest
prevalence, with up to 40% of youth obese.

The crisis is fueled by aggressive junk food
marketing, with 75% of children exposed weekly. Obesity
raises risks of diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
UNICEF is calling for urgent restrictions on unhealthy
food marketing and school bans, warning of severe
health impacts for the next generation.
