World Obesity Day is observed annually on March 4 to raise awareness about the global obesity crisis and encourage collective action to address this major public health challenge. Established by the World Obesity Federation in 2015, the observance was originally held on October 11 but was moved to March 4 in 2020 to align with other global health initiatives. The day focuses on promoting healthier lifestyles, improving access to nutritious food, and encouraging physical activity. It also highlights that obesity is a complex chronic disease influenced by genetic, environmental, social, and economic factors, requiring coordinated efforts from governments, healthcare professionals, and communities.
