The share of the population of working age (15-64) has decreased from 60.1% in 2021 to 58.5% in 2022. For information, in 1990 its share was lower - 55.5%, but then the retirement age was under 60 and is now approaching 65 for men.

Only 1.1% of the country's population lives in the Vidin region

The smallest in terms of population is the district of Vidin, where 72,754 people live, or 1.1% of the country's population, and the largest is the district of Sofia - 1,280,334 people (19.9%). There are four regions with a population of over 300,000 people, and in the first three of them - Sofia city, Plovdiv and Varna - live more than a third of the country's population (36.3%).

Study: The right time for physical activity increases fat metabolism

Image
Solna [Sweden]February 18 (ANI): According to a recent study from Sweden's Karolinska Institute and Denmark's University of Copenhagen, mice that exercised during an early active phase, which is comparable to morning exercise in humans, had higher metabolic rates than mice that exercised during a time when they usually rested. The results of the study were published in the journal PNAS. Physical activity at different times of the day can affect the body in different ways because the biological processes depend on the circadian rhythm of the cells. To determine how the time of day when the exercise is done affects fat burning, researchers at the Karolinska Institutet and the University of Copenhagen studied the adipose tissue of mice after a session of high-intensity exercise performed at two points in the daily cycle. an early active phase and early resting phase (equivalent to late morning and late evening sessions in humans). The researchers studied various markers for ...

Other Mediterranean destinations, such as Italy and Spain, also saw their tourism sectors hit hard by heat waves and wildfires this summer. According to European Union (EU) estimates, Greece, Italy, Algeria and Tunisia lost more than 1,350 square kilometers (520 square miles) to fires that affected 120,000 people in late July. Greece is expecting further extreme heat in the coming days. However, Rosa Mara Lopez, mayor of Villardeciervos in northwestern Spain, which was ravaged by fires last summer, said hikers are still coming to the area. "Tourism is bound to s...
