Poland: Married men are three times more likely to be obese than unmarried men, study shows

According to The Guardian, a study from Poland found that married men have a 3.2 times higher risk of obesity than unmarried men, while women's risk of obesity after marriage has not changed significantly compared to before marriage. However, the study also showed that even if women's risk of obesity after marriage has not increased significantly, the possibility of being overweight will increase by 39%, while men's possibility of being overweight after marriage will increase by 62%. According to the official website of the World Health Organization, obesity is a chronic disease, and overweight is a condition of excessive fat accumulation. The study, led by Dr. Alicia Cica Mikołajczyk of the Polish National Institute of Cardiology, analyzed the medical and health data of 2,405 Poles with an average age of 50 to study the factors between weight gain and age, marital status, and mental health. The final results of the study will be announced at the European Obesity Conference held in Spain in May this year. Researchers believe that the important reason why marriage has a different impact on the weight change of men and women is the difference in attitudes towards obesity between men and women. Katherine Jenner, director of the UK's Obesity Health Alliance, analyzed that with factors such as increased food intake, more social activities and less exercise, men may be more likely to gain weight after marriage. Women may be more concerned about their weight due to social pressure. "This study also shows that becoming obese is not a personal problem. We should make healthy living easier by improving the social eating environment, education and publicity." A 2017 study by the University of Bath in the UK also showed that married men are 1.4 kilograms heavier than unmarried men on average, and their BMI index (also known as body mass index, the number obtained by dividing the weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters) is also higher than that of unmarried men. The study at the time also showed that men who had just had children would gain weight in the first few years after becoming fathers. Before and after divorce, men's BMI values will drop. "The results from the Polish study are consistent with the conclusions I reached in 2017." Joanna Cerda, a lecturer in business economics at the University of Bath who led the 2017 study, said that single men need to find a partner, so they may be more motivated to maintain their weight. Jimmy Pollant, an advisor to the Men's Health Forum, warned against over-interpreting the findings, "but they do remind us that it is very important to develop the right health strategy."
