A recent study found that “adults are 15 years older in terms of ill health than their parents were at that age” (Sophia Moir). Health issues are at an all time high right now.
Now, more than ever, a wellness approach is necessary to increase the overall health of this generation.
The causes of ill health found through this study were obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Younger people are getting these diseases at an increasingly younger age due to their lifestyle habits.
This study found that women in their 20s are twice as likely to be overweight than in previous generations. Similarly, it found that men in their 30s were 20 percent more likely to be overweight than men in previous generations.
This study was published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology and was conducted with a sample of 6,000 adults.
