From the BMJ Global Health report (2021), it is stated that in the year 2603 If Thailand does not change significantly The economic impact of obesity is expected to grow to 4.9% of GDP in Thailand. This includes direct costs of health care. and indirect costs such as lost productivity from inefficient use of labor. or absence from work from people who need treatment for obesity And if obesity prevalence is reduced by 5% from expected levels or maintained at 2019 levels, economic costs will decrease by an average of 5.2% and 13.2% per year between 2020 and 2060, respectively.

1 in 11 people suffer from diabetes.

Prof. Emeritus Dr. Wanee Nithiyanan, President of the Diabetes Association of Thailand
.
Prof. Emeritus Dr. Wanee Nithiyanan, President of the Diabetes Association of Thailand, said that the prevalence of type 2 diabetes caused by obesity and lifestyle problems is likely to increase. The rate of new patients is approximately one hundred thousand people per year. Currently, there are approximately 5.2 million Thai people with diabetes, or 1 in 11 Thai people aged 15 years and over are suffering from diabetes. Of these, more than 40% do not know that they are sick.
While only 54.1% or only 2.8 million people received diagnosis and treatment, only 1 in 3 people were able to achieve their treatment goals. As a result, the death rate from diabetes in Thailand is as many as 200 people per day. We believe that joining forces of all parties to jointly solve the problem is a good solution that will help reduce the rate of people with diabetes, obesity, and NCDs in order to raise the level. The quality of life of patients and Thai society is improved sustainably, in line with the 9 operational goals of the World Health Organization (WHO) to prevent and control the situation of non-communicable diseases at the global level by 2025.

The side effects of “obesity” spread in every direction.
.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phet Rodaree, President of the Thai Noncommunicable Disease Network Association, said that the incidence of obesity in Thailand has increased by more than 30 percent, or there are more than 20 million people with obesity, leading to the risk of NCDs, including: diabetes, high blood pressure High blood fat cardiovascular disease and cancer. These diseases also threaten the sustainability of Thailand’s universal health insurance system.
Currently, more than half of the budget is spent on treating NCDs and this has also had a huge impact on the business sector. While the current solution is still defensive. Most patients still do not realize that “Obesity is a disease. that must be treated.” The Thai public health system requires cooperation from all sectors to find ways to prevent disease before it occurs. Policies to deal with obesity and NCDs should be urgently implemented.
Including setting clear measures or policy frameworks, such as taxes on sugar, sodium, and the consumption of foods with appropriate nutrition. Including promoting physical exercise. Educating the public and managing the environment that is conducive to good health Taking into consideration public health is the key.
