Today, March 4th, World Obesity Day, is an opportunity to reflect on a public health challenge that continues to grow in many parts of the world, including Puerto Rico.

According to data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), the prevalence of obesity in Puerto Rico shows an upward trend over the last decade among adults aged 18 and over, going from 26.3% in 2011 to 36.2% in 2024.

The Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics promotes access to information that allows us to better understand the challenges we face as a society and to support informed decision-making.

On World Obesity Day, we're sharing this graphic to promote informed conversation and analysis of available data.

If you are deaf, have hearing loss, or are a family member or caregiver, get involved.

Your information will help develop more effective services, programs and public policies.
