People who are lazy or unwilling to perform physical activities categorized as a person who has the disease in its own right. Although a lot of money for treatment, the disease is incurable.
Dr Richard Weiller and Dr Emmanuel Stamatakis include lazy as a disease because they see a strong relationship between poor health in people lazy. The results are reported in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
"We see a significant association with mortality (death rate) and morbidity (unhealthy conditions). Therefore, we propose that a lazy person is likely to be considered for recognition as a person who has the disease in its own right," said the researcher, as quoted from Telegraph, Tuesday (10/08/2010).
Dr. Richard Weiller, as sport and exercise specialist at Imperial College Healthcare said that the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified obesity as a disease. Obesity happens because people do not do exercise or physical activity is enough.
"Money is used to treat the symptoms due to physical inactivity such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension) or heart disease. But do not treat the root, which is forcing people to not be lazy," he said.
In May Dr Weiller show evidence that physical inactivity is not only a place of fat deposition, but would be a cause of disease.
Therefore, Dr Wieller adding society must place or promote health and treat disease, one way is to perform physical activity.
In a recent study conducted by Dr. Weiller found only 1 in 20 people who exercise in accordance with the recommended amount of time. But until now there is still no coordinated plan to address this problem.
"Everyone needs to see the facts that exist and are responsible for their own health," says Professor Steve Field, chairman of the Royal College of General Practitioners.
