Residents of Ukraine are rapidly gaining weight

Domestic doctors have collected statistics on the number of obese people living in Ukraine. Most of the fat people are in the Poltava, Donetsk and Kherson regions. And Crimea is recognized as the most “harmonious” region.

Overweight was found in 53% of the country's residents. At the same time, every fifth Ukrainian is obese. Our compatriots do not make a tragedy out of extra pounds, so the total weight of the nation continues to grow rapidly. Doctors are very concerned about this fact, as well as the fact that about half of fat people suffer from cardiovascular diseases.

Western regions are less prone to obesity. The most favorable situation is in Crimea (due to the climate and diet, which includes more vegetables, fruits and seafood). On the peninsula, 49% of residents are overweight. And obesity was found in 12.7% of the population. First place in the number of overweight Crimeans went to Yalta, second to Simferopol, and third to Evpatoria.
