Hebrew University Study Reveals Health Impacts of Iran War on Israelis
A study by the Hebrew University School of Public Policy has revealed significant negative health impacts on Israelis due to the ongoing conflict with Iran. The research, led by Dr. Roni Lotan and Prof. Eyal Peer, found that nearly two-thirds of Israelis experienced a decline in physical activity and sleep duration. The study also noted an increase in the consumption of ultra-processed foods and alcohol. The war's impact was more pronounced among women and children, with increased screen time and reduced physical activity reported among children. The findings highlight the war's broad effects on health-related behaviors.
