Key Predictors of Overweight and Obesity in Adult Population
Original language description
Introduction: According to experts, overweight and obesity, are the most dangerous civilization diseases of today. Worldwide, over 312 million people are obese and another 1.3 billion suffer from obesity. Increased weight is a significant health risk and it means a decrease in quality of life and, especially in life expectancy. Because of this, in our research, we address the problem of current society which is overweight and obesity. Methods: To verify hypotheses, we used chi-square test of independence. It is a universal statistical test with wide use. It is most often used to verify the relation between nominal type variables. Results: By analyzing the results, we have found that overweight or obesity of the parents, respondents’satisfaction, eating habits and gender are related to overweight and obesity of the respondents. However, we have not found a relation between the physical activity of the respondents and their overweight or obesity. In case our respondents do not exercise and have bad eating habits, their body weight would be likely to increase. Conclusion: To prevent the development of overweight and obesity and its complications that have a negative impact on our health, it is necessary to make a targeted and effective intervention that is aimed at a healthy lifestyle.
