Abstract

This study explores the evolving relationship between obesity and income in the context of globalization and economic growth. It examines how changes in global trade patterns, urbanization, and dietary shifts influenced by economic factors have conditioned the association between income levels and obesity prevalence. Using data from national surveys and economic indicators, we analyze trends in obesity rates across income strata and assess the impact of globalization on dietary habits and health outcomes. The study considers both the direct effects of income on obesity and the mediating role of economic growth and globalization processes. Findings indicate a complex interplay where higher income levels are initially associated with lower obesity rates but may reverse with economic development and globalization. This suggests that economic growth, while improving overall living standards, also introduces dietary changes and lifestyle factors that contribute to higher obesity rates among affluent populations. Implications for public health and policy include the need for targeted interventions that address socioeconomic disparities and promote healthy lifestyles amidst global economic transformations. Strategies aimed at fostering sustainable dietary practices and reducing obesity-related health disparities are recommended to mitigate the adverse effects of economic growth on population health. By understanding these dynamics, policymakers and public health practitioners can develop more effective strategies to promote health equity and mitigate the negative health impacts of globalization and economic growth on obesity dynamics across income levels.
