National obesity risk *5.5/10This is a composite ‘obesity risk’ score (out of 10, the highest risk) based on obesity prevalence, rate of increase, likelihood of meeting the 2025 target, treatment indicator and childhood stunting levels.Childhood obesity risk *7/11This is a ‘risk score’ for each country’s likelihood of having or acquiring a major childhood obesity problem during the 2020s, taking account of current prevalence levels and risk for future obesity (based on stunting among infants, maternal obesity, maternal smoking, and breastfeeding rates).

Definitions: | Socioeconomic status was based on 'social stress' which is scored in the following way: "Information on social stress is based on a count of signs of weak socio-economic resources in the infant record. One point shall be awarded for each of the following four information: mother and father respectively with a maximum of 10th grade education and mother and father respectively currently out of work. The variable on social load can range from zero to four, and a higher score indicates fewer resources." |
