Abstract:

 The developments in technology have provided people with various conveniences and the resulting conveniences have been adopted by people in different ways. The conveniences adopted by people have shown themselves in different ways by each segment. The generational structure factor has particularly shown itself more clearly here. While the acceptance and adaptation situations in technology are more evident in the communities of the period in which it emerged, it has a more stable feature in older generation communities. However, since keeping up with changing conditions has become almost inevitable, the learning and adaptation process has become inevitable in older generations. Although the conveniences brought by technology have been many, they have also brought with them many negativities. One of these negativities is obesity. The stagnation that has come to human life with technological conveniences has caused peoples lifestyles to become inactive and the problem of gaining weight has emerged. This problem has spread worldwide especially recently and has become noticeable. The situation of gaining weight uncontrollably and excessively has shown itself as obesity. Obesity is a health problem that seriously threatens human health. In recent years, health authorities and governments have not remained indifferent to this situation, which has increased worldwide, and have begun to combat it by raising awareness in societies. This study aims to address the status of obesity in Turkey and examine the situation over generations. The data collected in the study, in which the survey method was used, was analyzed with the SPSS 16.0 package program and the findings were presented.

 Teknolojide meydana gelen gelişmeler insanlara çeşitli kolaylıklar sağlamış olup ortaya çıkan kolaylıklar insanlar tarafından farklı şekillerde benimsenmiştir. İnsanlar tarafından benimsenen kolaylıklar her kesimce farklı şekillerde kendilerini göstermiştir. Özellikle de kuşak yapısı faktörü burada kendisini daha belirgin olarak göstermiştir. Teknolojideki kabul görme ve adaptasyon durumları, ortaya çıktığı dönemin topluluklarında daha belirginken daha eski kuşak topluluklarında daha durağan bir özellik göstermektedir. Fakat değişen şartlara da ayak uydurmak adeta kaçınılmaz bir hal aldığından dolayı öğrenme ve adaptasyon süreci daha eski kuşaklarda kaçınılmaz bir duruma gelmiştir. Teknolojinin getirdiği kolaylıklar her ne kadar çok olmuş olsa da beraberinde birçok olumsuzluğu da getirmiştir. Bu olumsuzluklardan birisi de obezitedir. Teknolojik kolaylıklarla insan hayatına gelen durağanlık beraberinde insanların yaşam biçimini hareketsizleşerek kilo alma sorunu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu sorun özellikle son zamanlarda dünya geneline yayılmış olup dikkat çeken bir hale bürünmüştür. Kontrolsüzce ve fazla bir biçimde kilo alma durumu kendisini obezite olarak göstermiştir. Obezite insan sağlığını ciddi şekilde tehdit eden bir sağlık sorunudur. Son yıllarda dünya genelinde artış gösteren bu duruma sağlık otoriteleri ve hükümetler kayıtsız kalmamış olup toplumlara farkındalık kazandırmak suretiyle mücadeleye girişmişlerdir. Bu araştırmada, Türkiyede obezitenin durumunun ele alınması, kuşaklar üzerindeki durumu incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Anket yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada toplanan veriler SPSS 16.0 paket programı ile analiz edilmiş olup bulgular ortaya konmuştur.
