#obesitycausesandconsequences
According to the WHO, people who have a BMI greater than 25 suffer from being overweight, while people who have a BMI exceeding 30 are suffering from obesity.
Obesity is a complex health issue resulting from a combination of causes and individual factors, such as behavior and genetics.
In this video, we will talk about the most common causes and consequences of obesity.
Causes of Obesity
Behavior
Healthy behaviors include regular physical activity and healthy eating.
Balancing the number of calories consumed from foods and beverages with the number of calories the body uses for activity plays a role in preventing excess weight gain.
Community Environment
This includes parents, friends, school, health care, and the workplace.
All these factors can influence people's daily behaviors and their decisions to stay in a healthy weight range.
Therefore, it is important to create environments that make it easier to engage in physical activity and eat healthy foods.
Genetics
genetics also play a role in the development of obesity.
Some people may just be more vulnerable to being overweight because of their genetics and may also have it harder to lose weight than others.
Other Factors: Diseases and Drugs
Some illnesses may lead to obesity or weight gain. These may include Cushing’s disease and polycystic ovary syndrome.
Drugs, such as steroids and some antidepressants, may also cause weight gain.
Age
Age also plays a role in obesity.
When people become older, they are more likely to suffer from physical health issues, which may prevent them from working out.
Consequences of Obesity
