dc.description.abstractIntroduction: World Obesity Day is on 4 March 2024, and our nation needs to pay attention. As with the HIV epidemic in the 1990s, we are facing a calamitous threat to the health of the population that has been ignored for too long. Weight-related diseases have eclipsed tuberculosis (TB) and HIV as leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Over two-thirds of South African (SA) women are overweight or are living with obesity.[1] For example, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease, conditions all directly linked to the disease of obesity, account for three of the top four causes of death nationally and incur massive health system costs.[2,3] Moreover, excess weight gain has deleterious effects far beyond cardiovascular disease risk, with evidence strongly linking it to poor pregnancy outcomes, cancer, liver and kidney disease, mental illness, and sleep disorders.[4,5].en_ZA
