The Institute of Public Health said that World Obesity Day is being celebrated this year under the slogan \"8 billion reasons to act.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As they stated, obesity represents one of the leading public health challenges of today, both globally and in Montenegro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"According to available data, more than a billion people in the world live with obesity, and the growth trend is continuous. Projections indicate that in the next decade as much as half of the world's population could be overweight or obese,\" the statement says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These data, as stated by the Public Health Institute, clearly indicate that obesity is not an individual problem, but a complex social and health challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Obesity is a chronic disease that significantly increases the risk of developing numerous non-communicable diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer,\" the health institution warned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They stated that the growing trend of obesity in children is particularly concerning, which places a long-term burden on the healthcare system and affects the quality of life of future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Montenegro follows global trends - more than half of the adult population is overweight, while obesity is present in a significant part of the population,\" the statement says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is stated that, at the same time, there is an increase in risk factors, such as improper diet, reduced physical activity and the increasing availability of highly processed foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obesity, as the Institute of Public Health emphasized, is not solely the result of individual choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"It arises as a result of a complex interaction of biological, social, economic and environmental factors. That is why solving this problem requires a systemic approach and joint action by all sectors - health, education, institutions and the wider community,\" the statement states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year's campaign, as stated by the Institute, particularly highlights the need to reduce the stigmatization of people living with obesity and promote understanding, support, and access to adequate healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They said that some of the key messages of this year's World Obesity Day are that obesity is not an aesthetic problem, but a chronic disease, that prevention must start from an early age, that systemic changes are needed, not just individual efforts, and that joint action is key to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Public Health Institute said that they are actively contributing to the response to the growing problem of obesity through a series of continuous activities, which include monitoring trends and prevalence of obesity, research on obesity in children, and participation in the development of strategic documents and guidelines for proper nutrition for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their activities, they added, also relate to education and counseling through the work of the Counseling Center for Proper Nutrition, monitoring of nutritional components in food, as well as cooperation with the government and non-governmental sectors with the aim of jointly working to stop and reduce the obesity trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Public Health Institute called on decision-makers, healthcare professionals, institutions, and the general public to jointly contribute to creating an environment that encourages healthier lifestyle choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"By recognizing obesity as a complex public health problem and implementing coordinated measures, it is possible to significantly reduce its impact on population health,\" the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Public Health Institute said that health is not just a personal choice, but that it is the result of the conditions in which people live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"That's why every step towards a healthier society begins with joint action,\" the health institution emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
