世界肥胖日是一个统一的行动日,呼吁对肥胖危机采取一致的、跨部门的应对措施。它于3月4日举行,由世界肥胖症联合会与其全球成员合作召集。
每年都有数以百计的个人、组织和联盟为世界肥胖日做出贡献,让全世界数十万人参与其中。
Previous World Obesity Days have encouraged people to recognise the root causes of obesity, increase knowledge of the disease, tackle weight stigma, foreground the voices of people with lived experience and act to improve the world’s understanding, prevention and treatment of obesity.
This year's campaign theme is 'Let's Talk About Obesity And...'. We want to leverage the power of World Obesity Day to start cross-cutting conversations. Looking at health, youth and the world around us to see how we can address obesity together. This World Obesity Day, let's share knowledge, advocate together, and see obesity from a different perspective.
