    Obesity

    Obesity is a medical condition where excess body fat has accumulated to the point it can negatively impact health. It increases the risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of eating too many calories, lack of physical activity, and genetic factors. While some claim slow metabolism causes weight gain, studies show obese individuals actually burn more calories to maintain more body mass. Treatment focuses on diet and exercise, but may also include drugs to reduce appetite or block fat absorption or even surgery for severe cases. Obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide and considered one of the major public health challenges of the century.

    HEALTH: OBESITY

    Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the
    extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life
    expectancy and/or increased health problems.

    Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heart disease,


    type 2 diabetes, breathing difficulties during sleep, certain types of cancer, and
    osteoarthritis. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive
    dietary calories, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a
    few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications or
    psychiatric illness. Evidence to support the view that some obese people eat little
    yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is limited; on average obese people have
    a greater energy expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the energy
    required to maintain an increased body mass.

    The primary treatment for obesity is dieting and physical exercise. To supplement
    this, or in case of failure, anti-obesity drugs may be taken to reduce appetite or
    inhibit fat absorption. In severe cases, surgery is performed or an intragastric
    balloon is placed to reduce stomach volume and/or bowel length, leading to earlier
    satiation and reduced ability to absorb nutrients from food.

    Obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide, with increasing


    prevalence in adults and children, and authorities view it as one of the most
    serious public health problems of the 21st century. Obesity is stigmatized in much
    of the modern world (particularly in the Western world), though it was widely
    perceived as a symbol of wealth and fertility at other times in history, and still is
    in some parts of the world.
