YOUR OWN HEALTHCARE - PLease Read The Article of Joe Capua - 19/03/2014 WASHINGTON - In many countries with low and middle incomes, the degree of obesity increases with income. But a new study says that women are more educated, the chances of avoiding obesity are higher. Education can prevent obesity Dr. SELMI Aminia Aitsi-lead author of the study at University College London. She wanted to find out whether the trend in high-income countries may appear anywhere else again: We know that in countries with high income, education and income tend to go together together. Those who are well educated and have high incomes tend to be slender and the reverse is also true. This study focuses on the national income average Egypt, Jordan, Colombia and the low-income countries are Nigeria, India, and Benin. These countries are the countries with income levels on the rise. As a result, women who buy food with higher calorie level. Researchers call these foods are energy dense food. Put simply, these foods can increase much weight because they contain a lot of sugar, salt, and fat. This may be a processed food or fast food. SELMI She said: The study shows that despite higher levels of income or wealth seems to be more associated with a higher risk of obesity in women living in middle-income countries and those generated low, but in the middle-income countries, there is something strange happens when education seems to protect women started avoiding obesity. So women are higher education has not been affected by wealth effects that make other women more obese. She SELMI say that there may be several explanations for this . Probably because women are better educated tastes when it comes to physique. they more exposure with beautiful patterns is believed to be in the West, often promoting spindly. Also they can be understanding about better health, there are other priorities in terms of time, they invest more in the health care for the future after this. But the link between education, wealth yes, and health seem slightly different in low-income countries. It may be related to the earlier economic conditions, is scarce at many foods have high calorie level. Nay the desire get the same food can be placed more severe effects that education was found in middle-income countries and high income. Scarcity means greater obesity is not just a question threads in that environment. Any advantage that you have, social-economic, where higher education or richer, can help you reach more of the food. And the market is not as complicated as the market in middle-income countries, where you have multiple products and may have to make many decisions. And heres where education can contribute to help consumers make the decision themselves. In addition, low-income countries may not have available the system of public health care to cope with the increasing levels of obesity. Obesity has been linked to non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Dr. Aitsi-SELMI said that more research is needed on what she calls the interaction between education and the environment broader field. These interventions can target either on the face of education to encourage womens education or knowledge about health. I mean we need a detailed study into the pathways linking education with obesity. Or maybe towards the environment in general and the type of information that appears in that environment. And so, in a way that will cause people not getting the education falling at a disadvantage because the signal comes from the surrounding environment can promote the unhealthy behaviors as excessive consumption. type of environmental information that can include multimedia advertisements told consumers that fast food is delicious, cheap, and easy to buy. These types of ads usually lack information about the nutritional value of food. SELMI She said education can be a better direction to protect against food choices unhealthy. Well, I think thats true. If you understand the risks around them and understand their decisions can affect your health, how will you be able to come up with different decisions. She is working Aitsi-SELMI Wellcome Trust PhD of University College in London. The study was published in the scientific journal PLoS ONE.
