Obesity is becoming an ever-greater issue among the Chinese population. In December 2020, the National Health Commission reported that over half of the Chinese adult population were overweight or obese. Between 2015 and 2020, the average body weight of Chinese men and women increased by 3.4 and 1.7 kilograms respectively. Although to a lesser extent, obesity is also a prominent issue among children and adolescents in the country.
