The World Obesity Federation predicts that by 2035, more than 50% of the world’s population will be living with overweight or obesity if no significant action is taken.
“As a global specialist in personal insurance, BNP Paribas Cardif is proud to be able to contribute to the advancement of scientific research and the prevention of obesity, a social issue that affects an increasingly large proportion of all populations”, said Pauline Leclerc-Glorieux, Chief Executive Officer of BNP Paribas Cardif and member of the Executive Committee of BNP Paribas.
BNP Paribas Cardif’s obesity prevention programme has already benefited 650,000 children and 2 million people, including their family members, in 13 countries.
Eating well increases life expectancy
According to the World Health Organization, four million people die each year from conditions that are linked to obesity. Obesity brings an additional risk of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, and many other chronic health conditions, which can impact life and work. The pervasiveness of eating disorders, complications related to Covid-19 – including long Covid – and mental health problems are also potentially linked to obesity.
Obesity is therefore a key concern for our business as an insurer.
Vision
We believe that obesity can be overcome through better access to education, information, and scientific advances. This approach promises better health for our customers, employees and partners.
