Obesity in Romania: Around 11 Million Romanians Could Be Affected by 2030
Published
Specialists estimate that, by 2030, around 11 million Romanians could be living with overweight or obesity. The information was presented recently and shows that weight-related health problems are becoming increasingly important for our country.
Overweight and obesity are risk factors for many diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer. Doctors say these problems usually arise from an unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity and a sedentary lifestyle. For many people, these habits are difficult to change, especially with the busy schedule at work and at home.
To reduce these risks, specialists recommend simple but consistent measures. These include eating vegetables and fruit, reducing sugar and processed foods, and at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week. Regular medical check-ups can also help detect problems early.
Estimates show that, if no changes are made, the number of people affected could increase in the coming years. Authorities and specialists believe that prevention is essential to protect the health of the population and to reduce the costs of the healthcare system.
