LoopCare
Why LoopCare exists
LoopCare exists to help create an empowering community where people with weight-related conditions learn to lean on themselves and to become their best self and live a healthier and happier life.
LoopCare's first initiative : overweight and obesity
Obesity is a growing public health challenge worldwide with significant health and economic impacts. The World Healthcare Organization (WHO) has declared obesity an epidemic and the largest healthcare threat for the coming century. In the current upward trend, the WHO calculated that before 2050, more than half of the world population will suffer from obesity.
- 1 in 3 adults suffer from obesity in the developed world.
- Overweight and obesity contribute to numerous diseases (co-morbidity), being also a significant risk factor in disease morbidity and mortality.
- Obesity has a substantial economic impact for individuals and nations, including direct healthcare costs and indirect costs from lost or reduced productivity, up to 3 trillion Euros per year.
- Individuals who suffer from overweight/obesity fail to achieve long-lasting results in weight loss due to lack of knowledge about healthy lifestyle and lack of psychological support from those around.
Individuals who suffer from overweight/obesity need:
- Knowledge and guidance on how to achieve a sustainable behavioral modification program that results in a sustainable healthy lifestyle promoting lasting weight loss.
- Support of the community and the feeling of not being alone on this journey.
- To become physically and mentally healthier, not only lose weight.
Employers function best with:
- Healthy and engaged and happy employees.
