Abstract

The relationship between economic globalization, educational attainment, and obesity rates among adults in the BRICS economies. Utilizing data from national health surveys and economic indicators, this study explores how economic globalization and educational levels influence obesity prevalence in both men and women across Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The findings reveal significant correlations between economic globalization, educational attainment, and obesity rates. Higher levels of economic globalization are associated with increased obesity prevalence, particularly among women, while higher educational attainment tends to correlate with lower obesity rates in both genders. The study also highlights the role of socioeconomic factors, cultural influences, and healthcare access in shaping obesity trends in the BRICS economies. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between economic factors, educational opportunities, and obesity rates in adult populations across the BRICS countries. The findings underscore the importance of addressing social determinants of health and implementing targeted interventions to combat obesity in the context of economic globalization and educational disparities.
