[Obesity in correlation with nutrition in representative settlements of the industrial-agrarian complex in Burgas]

The authors investigated the obesity incidence in connection with nutrition factors in 13 representative settlements of Industry-Agrarian Complex Burgas. They established that obesity covers 42,4 per cent of the population above the age of 14 and is 1,5 times more often among females as compared with males. The correlation among youths (age 14-25), mature aged subjects (26-50) and advanced aged ones (over 51) is 1:5,5:4,5. The light I and II stages prevail (88,6 per cent of all the cases) and the majority of the "pure" cases of obesity (73,6 per cent) have no complains.
