Hello and welcome to Health Check from the BBC.
I'm Claudia Hammond and every week we comb through the latest health news and medical discoveries to see what's new.
In a moment, how things have changed when it comes to the world nutrition.
For the first time,
there are now more overweight than underweight children and teenagers on this planet.
And new findings on why indigenous territories in the Amazon are good for human health.
And to help me today, I have BBC health reporter Laura Foster.
How are you?
I'm very well, Claudia.
How are you?
I'm good.
Thank you.
What do you have for us this week?
Well, I've got this exciting research,
which is about AI and whether it can be used to forecast our future health a little bit like the way we look at a weather forecast.
Interesting.
And I want to ask you as well about the latest on the new outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
But before all that,
And the news that obesity has overtaken being underweight as the leading form of malnutrition worldwide in children and teenagers.
That's according to UNICEF's 2025 Child Nutrition Report, which has just been published.
