Understanding Obesity: Causes, Risks, and Impact on Health

Obesity is a chronic disease caused by excessive fat deposits in the body. There are over three billion cases of people suffering from obesity across the world. One important distinction is that being overweight doesn’t equate to being obese. One of the critical factors for a person to be considered obese is having a Body Mass Index (BMI) score of more than 30. As a chronic condition itself, obesity can increase your risk of several chronic health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and renal failure.

Obesity has become one of the most common health problems globally; here are the leading causes of obesity that are studied extensively by our experts to create a personalised treatment plan for patients.

  • Unhealthy eating habits are among the leading causes of obesity worldwide. These include eating more than the required amount of calories on a daily basis and regularly overconsumption of junk and fast food.
     
  • Lack of physical activity is also a cause of obesity. An increasing incidence of sedentary lifestyles and modern conveniences has decreased the need for people to perform physical activity, leading to an increased number of obesity cases worldwide.
     
  • Stress and sleep problems also contribute to obesity as these conditions make it difficult for the body to lose weight despite your efforts. Sleep problems and stress are causally related, and it has a significant impact on weight gain and obesity.

Common Symptoms & Signs of Obesity

The signs of obesity are important to note for patients. This can help them get a timely diagnosis and treat the underlying causes of obesity in their nascent stages. Here are some of the most common obesity symptoms that everyone should look out for.

  • Excess body fat, especially around the waist region
  • Excessive sweating
  • Getting tired easily/shortness of breath
