management programs focuses on slow weight loss to attain ideal body weight.
Globally, the obese population is increasing, in turn, increasing the incidence of chronic diseases such as
musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and diabetes. Treatment of such diseases
is highly expensive thus, increasing the demand for weight management programs. According to World
Health Organization (WHO) estimation, in 2016, 13% of the world’s adult population was obese,
particularly 15% of women and 11% of men population globally. From 1975 to 2016, the prevalence rate of
obesity almost tripled. This in turn, is expected to create immense potential for growth of the weight
management market.
