Abstract
Šā pētījuma mērķis bija uzsvērt aptaukošanās vai liekā svara sociālekonomisko ietekmi Zviedrijā, to problematizēt un novērtēt Zviedrijas nodokļu sistēmas ražošanas zaudējumus. Dati tika vākti no Zviedrijas statistikas un Försäkringskassan, kas izmantoja šķērsgriezuma pētījumus pēc Zviedrijas valdības rīkojuma. Informācija tika apkopota arī no PVO, CDC un Zviedrijas Sabiedrības veselības aģentūras.
Šajā pētījumā ir uzsvērtas arī ar aptaukošanos saistītas komplikācijas, lai uzskatītu situāciju par multidisciplināru jautājumu, komplikācijas ietver, piemēram, sirds un asinsvadu slimības un osteoartrītu.
Tas bija pārliecinoši, ka invaliditātes pensija un biežāk bija augstākas svara klases, kas noved pie 0,9MSEK zaudētiem nodokļu ienākumiem. Biežākais invaliditātes pensijas iemesls bija slimība balsta un kustību aparāta sistēmā, kā arī garīgā veselība. Ir minēti piemēri tam, kur var veikt preventīvus pasākumus, kurus var turpmāk īstenot Zviedrijas skolu sistēmā un veselības aprūpes ķēdē.
Šis pētījums galvenokārt tika veikts par datiem, kas tika savākti pirms Covid-19 pandēmijas.
