The Trend Scenario outlines what our lifestyle is likely to look like by 2040.
Good news! The number of smokers continues to decline — by 2040, only 14% of Dutch adults will still smoke. This applies to all age groups over 18, though the decline is stronger among men than women.
Unfortunately, we are also getting heavier. By 2040, a staggering 62% of Dutch adults will be overweight. This increase affects adults across all age groups. However, it’s not due to less exercise — in fact, we’ll be moving more! Over two-thirds of adults will meet the Dutch Physical Activity Guidelines of 30 minutes of daily exercise. This is mainly because older adults are becoming more active.
Whether our diets will become healthier or less healthy remains uncertain. But with BenFit, you are in control! The BenFit menus are varied and nutritionally complete. Want to learn which nutrition fits your body best? Schedule an appointment with a BenFit coach near you!
