Over a million body scans weigh up health and fitness changes among Australian adults since the pandemic
New data released by an Australian health technology company has revealed a national decline in health and fitness among adults since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Evolt completed more than 1.4 million body composition scans on Australians aged 18 years and older between 2019 and 2021, finding a decrease in results among people aged 31 and over while people aged between 18 and 30 years remained stable.
Following these findings, Evolt Co-founder and CEO Ed Zouroudis said Evolt is looking forward to helping Australians get back on track with their health and wellness in a post-pandemic climate.
“Evolt is privileged to be partnered with the world’s leading health and fitness franchises, including Anytime Fitness, helping people regain their wellbeing – especially now that we have entered a new year,” said Mr Zouroudis.
“A silver lining of the Covid-19 pandemic is that people are taking their health more seriously and making fitness and wellness a priority.”
“No matter the result, anyone who is completing one of our scans is looking at their health and fitness and that alone is a step in the right direction.”
“Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Australia and through our data insights, users are able to identify the changes they need to make to live a healthier and longer life.”
