Information about the causes and effects of the
obesity

What is obesity?

• Obesity is a condition in which the natural
  energy reserve, stored in the fatty tissue of
  humans and other mammals, exceeds healthy limits.
  It is commonly defined as a body mass index
  (weight divided by height squared) of 30 kg/m2 or
  higher. (Encarta 2008)

Obesity has many causes

• Genetics Genes play a part in how your body
  balances calories and energy. Children whose
  parents are obese also tend to be overweight.
• Physical Inactivity Overweight people are
  usually less physically active than normal weight
  people. Seriously overweight people may have
  difficulty moving.

5
Other causes that may lead to the obesity problem
are

• Gender /Age
• Medical Problems
• Lifestyle

Most of the time the obesity has effects on the
body. Obesity might cause

• diabetes - Obesity is the major cause of type 2
  diabetes. This type of diabetes begins in
  adulthood. Obesity can cause resistance to
  insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar.
  When obesity causes insulin resistance, the blood
  sugar becomes elevated. Even moderate obesity
  dramatically increases the risk of diabetes.
• cancer - Men who are overweight have a higher
  risk of colon and prostate cancers.
