Obesity is a medical condition characterised by excessive accumulation of body fat that may lead to negative health outcomes.
Obesity is typically measured using body mass index (BMI), which is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by their height in metres squared.
Obesity increases the risk of various health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, certain types of cancer, and sleep apnea.
The primary cause of obesity is an imbalance between the calories consumed and the calories expended. Factors that can contribute to this imbalance include genetics, lifestyle habits, and environmental factors.
Obesity can be treated through a combination of diet, exercise, and behavioural changes. In some cases, medication or weight-loss surgery may be recommended.
Some lifestyle changes that can help with weight loss include eating a healthy, balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, getting enough sleep, and managing stress.
While there is no guaranteed way to prevent obesity, maintaining a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress can help reduce the risk of becoming overweight or obese.
Healthcare providers can play an important role in managing obesity by providing education and support, monitoring patients' progress, and prescribing appropriate treatments when necessary.
