A recent study conducted by Overseas Development Institute(ODI) has said that obesity is higher in developing countries than rich countries. The countries include Latin America, Middle east and north Africa.
The charity group reiterated this fact amid reports of a number of pensioners being denied of the option to have cancer surgical treatments. Findings show that only 12 percent of older patients beyond the age of 75 rejected this treatment, while more than 14 percent of the younger cancer patients refused it, according to an article from the Press Reader. The data involves more than 1,000 cancer patients.
