Of great concern.... in Australia(オーストラリアでの大きな関心事)

2010-06-14 15:11:08 | Australia
 今日はちょっと嗜好を変えまして、オーストラリア人を見て思ったことを今更ながらに。

 新聞にも書いてたんですが、オーストラリア人はとにかく肥満が多い、しかもちょっと腹でてるとかのレベルではなく、たっぷりでてる方が。。笑
 日本では考えられないけど、オーストラリア人全体の実に54%が肥満に悩まされ、また自分が肥満であると認識していない人、またはその現実から目を背けてしまってる人が6人に1人もいます。

 しかも前年から比べても増加傾向にあり、今や肥満が普通化している現状に、健康セラピストや医者などは頭を悩ませているとか。

 人口の20%以上が、体脂肪率30%を超えてるんやから驚きですわ。けど、オーストラリアに来た時から、太ってる方が多いと思ってたけど、まさか半分以上とは衝撃!!

 ただおじさん、おばさん世代になってくると、ほんまに痩せているというか正常な体型の人を探す方が困難なほどやし、ジャンクフード(マクドナルドやKFC)などをおじいちゃん、おばあちゃんがよく食べてるのも見かけるくらい。


 日本は健康に気を使うひとが多いけど、こっちはそんなこともないんかなぁと。


 まぁけど好きなもの食べて、満足なら寿命も気にならないかもね。ん~、自分は日本人なんでやっぱり太るんは嫌ですが。。笑







Fat Aussies are in denial, with one out of six obese people believing their weight meets healthy guidelines.
This is the great concern in Austaralia. To be honest, in my opinion, In australia too many people maybe are concerned with about their health because of overweight. I think obese people in Australia is at least three times as many as Japan.

Even when I hang around a local area, I can see those people easily. In fact, 54 per cent of the population was now considered overweight or obese, a 4 per cent increase on last year's results, and more than 21 per cent of the population are categorised as obese or having a BMI rating of more than 30 - up more than 3 per cent on last year's results.

I don't actually know how many people are considered of same issue in Japan, but I'm pretty sure japanese people is less concerned with it.

According to a survey, Aussies are putting themselves at risk of heart disease because they are increasingly unaware of what to do to meet healthy guidelines, particularly when it comes to healthy weight.
As the number of overweight or obese Australians went up, people's perception of it had also shifted.
Of great concern....is the finding that obesity is somewhat normalising.

I think they may need to be more self-aware and self-control to shed their weight.
