According to a study conducted by ADEMA, obesity affects younger people
Nearly half of Balearic Islanders aged 18 to 65 have excess body fat. This is the conclusion of a study conducted by the ADEMA University School of UIB. The high level of sedentary lifestyle and poor adherence to the Mediterranean diet are highlighted here.
Maintain good health and at the same time accept body diversity. This is the hypothesis through which nutrition experts believe that obesity should be attacked. From a nutritional point of view, but also from a psychological and social point of view. Giuseppe Rossolello, President of the World Congress of Food Societies, emphasizes: “Beside the nutritional and nutritional approach, a psychological approach must be taken. We cannot neglect the part of mental health and the emotional relationship with food, but in addition to the nutritional and psychological treatments that we can do, we must make a difference in society.” And start talking about body diversity.
This will be one of the topics that will stand out The third edition of Nutrition Week organized by Adema University School. It was released today, alongside a study suggesting that nearly half of the population does not follow a Mediterranean diet and has excess body fat. Socioeconomic level has a great influence. “Belonging to the most disadvantaged social classes almost doubles and, in some cases, almost triples the prevalence of obesity in the most advantaged classes,” says Angel Arturo Lopez, Publications Director at ADEMA.
One of the trends that most worries experts is that obesity and its related habits are increasingly appearing among young people.
