A survey conducted by the Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Nutritional Medicine (EKFZ) at TUM and supported by the research institute Forsa has found that among 30 to 44 year-olds, an above average proportion (48 percent) have gained weight since the beginning of the corona pandemic. Furthermore, this percentage increases to 53 percent among those who already had a weight problem before the start of the pandemic.
The analysis is based on an online survey of 1,001 adults between the ages of 18 and 70 taken in April of 2021 as part of a systematic random procedure. Hans Hauner, Professor of Nutritional Medicine at TUM, and Renate Oberhoffer-Fritz, Professor of Preventative Pediatrics at TUM, have commented on the data in an expert discussion.
