Obezite önemli sağlık sorunları ile birlikte ekonomik ve sosyo-psikolojik birçok soruna neden olan ve dünyada yaygın olarak görülen bir hastalıktır. Obezitenin neden olduğu bu sorunlar obezite yaygınlığıyla birlikte önemli boyutlara ulaşmış bulunmaktadır. Obeziteye neden olan gıdalar üzerinden ek bir vergi alınması olan obezite vergisi yoluyla bireylerin daha sağlıklı gıdalara yönelmesi ve bu yolla obezitenin azaltılması amaçlanmaktadır. Obezite vergisinin başarıya ulaşmasında birçok faktör etkili olmakla beraber bireylerin bu vergiyi kabul etmesi/benimsemesi önem arz etmektedir. Obezite vergisinin kabul edilebilirliğinde ise birçok faktör etkili olmaktadır.Türkiye’de henüz uygulanmamakla beraber gelecekte uygulanması muhtemel obezite vergisinin kabul edilebilirliğini etkileyen faktörleri yapısal eşitlik modeli ile incelediğimiz çalışmada ekonomik, sosyo-psikolojik, sağlık ve siyasi faktörlerin kabul edilebilirlik üzerinde etkili olduğu; ayrıca kabul edilebilirlik düzeyini etkileyen bu faktörlerin birbirleri ile ilişkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Obezite vergisinin kabul edilebilirlik düzeyi üzerinde en fazla etkili faktör sağlık, ikincisi ekonomi, üçüncüsü sosyo-psikolojik faktör iken sonuncu sırada siyasi faktör yer almaktadır. Ekonomik faktör ile siyasi faktör kabul edilebilirliği negatif etkilerken sağlık ve sosyo-psikolojik faktörler pozitif yönde etkilemektedir
Obesity is a disease that causes many economic and socio-psychological problems along with significant health problems and is widely seen in the world. These problems caused by obesity have reached significant dimensions along with the prevalence of obesity. Obesity tax, which is an additional tax on foods that cause obesity, is aimed at directing individuals to healthier foods and thereby reducing obesity. There are many factors that are effective in obesity tax achievement, but it is important for individuals to accept this tax. In terms of obesity tax acceptability, many factors are effective. In Turkey it has not yet been implemented, but it has come to the conclusion that the factors affecting the acceptability of the possible obesity tax in the study that we study with the structural equality model are economic, socio-psychological, health and political factors affecting the acceptability, and that these factors affecting the level of acceptability are related to each other. The most influential factor on the level of acceptability of obesity tax is health, the second is the economic, the third is the socio-psychological factor, while the last is the political factor. Economic factors and political factors have a negative impact on the acceptability while health and socio-psychological factors have a positive impact on the acceptability.
Obesity is a common disease in the world, which causes many economic and sociopsychological problems along with important health problems. These problems caused by obesity have reached significant dimensions with the prevalence of obesity. Fat tax, which is an additional tax on the foods that cause obesity, aims to orientate people to healthier alternatives and to decrease the obesity among individuals. While many factors are effective in the success of fat tax, it is important that individuals accept/adopt this tax. Many factors are effective in the acceptability of fat tax, as well.In the present study where the factors effective on the acceptability of the fat tax, which has yet to be applied but will possibly be implemented in the future in Turkey, were examined by means of structural equation model, it was determined that economic, sociopsychological, health and political factors are influential on the acceptability of this tax. In addition, these factors affecting acceptability were found to be related to each other. The most influential factor on the acceptability of fat tax is health and it is followed by economy, socio-psychological factor and political factor. Economic factor and political factor negatively affect acceptability while health and socio-psychological factors positively affect it
