The obesity as an actual problem of today´s society
FRYŠOVÁ, Iveta
This Bachelor Study is on the topic of The obesity as an actual problem of today´s society. Its aim is to summarize the basic topics and questions about the obesity and to show what is the ideal of the body beauty and the body weigh from the view of people who suffer from the obesity, overweight people and also of people with the normal weight. For the research three hypothesis have been set: 1. People suffering from the obesity don´t differ in the point of view of mental representation of the ideal body figure from the common population. 2. The lifestyle of people suffering from the obesity has nothing to do with their conception of the ideal body figure. 3. People suffering from the obesity don´t differ in the point of view of the satisfaction with their body from overweight people. There have been chosen a quantitative {--} qualitative research. The questionnaire was wholly anonymous. The research took place in January and February 2007. First hypothesis was refuted. Second and third hypothesis were confirmed. In my opinion the aim of the Study was accomplished. There are many of TV programmes, books, magazines or web sites that attent to the obesity. The reason is that the number of people who suffer from this disease grows up in whole Europe. The obesity is defined as an excessive physical mass with increased portion of the adipose tissue. It is not only the aesthetic problem. The obesity can cause many health problems, e.g. diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancer, gynaecologist problems, cardiac or joint diseases. This condition can also have an impact on the human mental sphere and depressions or anxiety can occur. Today ´s ideal of the body beauty is a very thin figure. Women and girls are forced to be on a diet. There are more and more people who just only think that they are overweight or obese. The diet industry has gigantic power to support the idealization of the slimness.
