What is one reason why the percentage of overweighted teams has

increased over the past 50 years?

1 answer

One significant reason for the increase in the percentage of overweighted individuals in teams over the past 50 years is the rise in sedentary lifestyles and changes in dietary habits. With the advent of technology, many jobs and recreational activities have become increasingly sedentary, leading to lower levels of physical activity. Additionally, the availability and consumption of calorie-dense, processed foods have increased, contributing to higher rates of obesity. These factors combined have led to a higher prevalence of overweight individuals in various contexts, including sports teams and other groups.
