Credit Crunch Leads One To Obesity
How? Well, if one goes by the explanation, it's simple indeed. Recession means an increase in price, just about everything, which further leads to debt. And with people's inability to cope up with the rising prices in food grains, there comes a stiff decline in the amount of healthy food that one consumes. This, in turn, exposes a person to obesity.
The researcher blamed the trend on the high price of healthy food, and a tendency for people worried by debt to comfort eat. For this, the researcher worked with a team of researchers to study more than 9000 people, finding that 25 per cent of the 949 people in debt were medically obese, compared to only 11 per cent of the remaining 8318 participants. She said: "The recent credit crunch will have health implications for private households." She adds: "We've shown that debt can be associated with the probability of being overweight or obese, independent of these factors."
The
researchers
say
that
debt
can
affect
a
series
of
risk
factors
for
chronic
diseases,
for
example
by
limiting
leisure
time
activities
and
participation
in
social
events.
One
of
the
researchers
even
said:
"A
person's
ability
to
pick
and
choose
the
food
they
eat
often
depends
on
the
financial
resources
they
have
available."
He
adds,
"Energy-dense
foods
such
as
sweets
or
fatty
snacks
are
often
less
expensive
compared
to
food
with
lower
energy
density
such
as
fruit
or
vegetables."
