Abstract
This paper aims to analyse the relationship between obesity and economic growth in the context of the Obesity Kuznets Curve model for the Eurasian Economic Union for the years between 2000-2016. The relationship between obesity rates and the real gross domestic product has been examined for the Eurasian Economic Union in the context of the Obesity Kuznets Curve model using the fixed-effects model. The results show that the Obesity Kuznets Curve Model is valid for the Eurasian Economic Union. Therefore, this paper points out that the relationship between obesity rates and economic growth within the Eurasian Economic Union is non-linear.
