摘要:Nowadays, excess weight is a global issue. Currently, 40% of the world’s population is overweight— three times more than 40 years ago (World Health Organization [WHO], 2018). In Brazil, one in two adults and one in three children are overweight (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics [Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, IBGE], 2010). A recent study published by Cancer Research UK (2018) showed that the generation born in the 1980s and 1990s - the so-called millennials - is about to become the group with the highest incidence of excess weight in history.↓O excesso de peso é hoje uma crise global. Atualmente, 40% de toda a população mundial está acima do peso – três vezes mais do que há 40 anos (Organização Mundial da Saúde – OMS, 2018). No Brasil, um em cada dois adultos e uma em cada três crianças encontram-se nessa mesma condição (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE, 2010). Estudo recente publicado pela Cancer Research UK (2018), do Reino Unido, indicou que a geração nascida entre os anos 1980 e 1990 – os chamados Millennials – está no caminho de se tornar o grupo com maior incidência de sobrepeso da história.
