Obesity may be defined as a condition in which there is an
excessive amount of body fat. This is one of the most common
diseases found all over the world.
Common Causes of Obesity
Age: This is most prevalent in middle age and can occur
at any stage of life.
Socio-economic: In developing countries it is more
prevalent in the wealthy society, whereas in fully developed
countries it is more common in lower-socioeconomic groups.
Heredity: Obesity tends to run in families. A clearer
role of genetics helps in prevention of obesity on those who are
most vulnerable. 80% of the offspring of two obese parents
become obese.
Endocrine factors: Abnormal influence or imbalance can be
one of the causes of obesity. Obesity in women commonly begins
at puberty, during pregnancy or at
menopause.
Drugs: The use of steroids, oral contraceptives and
insulin is commonly followed by
weight gain.
