Country Profile – Czech Republic

Here at ECPO we are a European organisation consisting of volunteers from across 24 countries. Our aim is to support the national associations and collaborate as one strong united voice.

Obesity in the Czech Republic

In the Czech Republic 22% of woman and 20% of men have a BMI of more than 30. For people living with obesity there is evidenced based information for patient and public available from the following websites: www.stob.cz, www.stobklub.cz, www.fzv.cz, www.vyzivaspol.cz, www.obesitas.cz

Obesity has been recognised as a disease in Czech Republic.

As part of our #LivingWithObesity campaign, we spoke to people across Europe to share their experiences of LivingWithObesity.

The results are shared in this breathtaking true to life story of what our members face on a daily basis.
