Survey finds 60 percent of Slovaks are overweight or obese

A new survey reveals that up to 60 percent of Slovakia's population suffers from being overweight or obese, marking a significant public health concern for the Central European nation. Despite the high prevalence of weight-related health issues, only 19 percent of affected individuals seek medical assistance for their condition. The findings highlight a substantial gap between the scale of the obesity problem in Slovakia and people's willingness to address it through healthcare services, potentially indicating barriers to treatment or lack of awareness about available medical support for weight management.
