The inhabitants of Sofia and Montana are the most obese Bulgarians. In Ruse and Burgas, people have the weakest figures, according to a study by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
The study, quoted by the Telegraph, shows that obesity in our country is reaching record levels. The survey surveyed 5,300 men and women from different regions of Bulgaria.
Among children, there is also an increase in overweight, as well as an increase in type 2 diabetes, which until recently was registered only in adults.
The highest average weight for men is registered in the capital - 71.9 kilograms. The ladies in Sofia weigh an average of 66.3 kilograms. They are followed by the residents of Montana with weight of 78.5 for men and 67.1 for women.
The weakest Bulgarians are in Ruse. The average weight that the men there noted was 73.6 kilograms. The study also shows that the most slender and slim Bulgarian women are in Burgas. With them, the scale is the average weight is exactly 63 kilograms.
There are many factors that determine weight, the most important of which are, of course, diet and exercise. The quality of food is directly related to the accumulation of extra pounds - says Professor Yordan Yordanov, who is director of the Institute of Experimental Morphology and Anthropology at BAS.
According to the expert, the key point in gaining weight is not so much the genes, but very simple things, such as what we put on our table every day to eat.
The head of the Clinic of Endocrinology at the Alexandrovska Hospital in Sofia, Professor Zdravko Kamenov, said that there was an unhealthy weight gain both nationally and globally.
According to him, three main factors lead to weight gain - immobility, eating too much and stress.
Family scandals have also caused men to gain weight, and quarrels at home could change the taste of the dishes served, a recent US study showed.
