What is Obesity?

Obesity is a complex disease involving having too much body fat. Obesity isn’t just a cosmetic concern. It’s a medical problem that increases the risk of many other diseases and health problems. These can include heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver disease, sleep apnea and certain cancers.

There are many reasons why some people have trouble losing weight. Often, obesity results from inherited, physiological and environmental factors, combined with diet, physical activity and exercise choices.

The good news is that even modest weight loss can improve or prevent the health problems associated with obesity. A healthier diet, increased physical activity and behavior changes can help you lose weight. Prescription medicines and weight-loss procedures are other options for treating obesity.

Obesity Causes

Although there are genetic, behavioral, metabolic and hormonal influences on body weight, obesity occurs when you take in more calories than you burn through typical daily activities and exercise. Your body stores these excess calories as fat.

In the United States, most people’s diets are too high in calories — often from fast food and high-calorie beverages. People with obesity might eat more calories before feeling full, feel hungry sooner, or eat more due to stress or anxiety.

Many people who live in Western countries now have jobs that are much less physically demanding, so they don’t tend to burn as many calories at work. Even daily activities use fewer calories, courtesy of conveniences such as remote controls, escalators, online shopping, and drive-through restaurants and banks.

What are the types of obesity?

Doctors can classify obesity based on various factors, such as the severity of the condition, fat distribution, and the underlying cause of the disease. 

  1. Severity-based classification distinguishes between different degrees of obesity:
  • Class I obesity is identified by a BMI falling within the range of 30 to 34.9.
  • Class II obesity encompasses BMIs ranging from 35 to 39.9.
  • Class III obesity, the most severe form, corresponds to a BMI of 40 or higher.
  1. The fat distribution provides insights into how obesity manifests within the body:
  • Android obesity, also known as central or abdominal obesity, signifies an accumulation of fat in the abdomen. It holds the highest prevalence and may cause an increased risk of chronic diseases.
  • Gynoid obesity, termed peripheral or pear-shaped obesity, characterizes excess fat storage in the hips, buttocks, and thighs. This form is less common and associated with a reduced risk of chronic illnesses.
  1. Causative factors distinguish between primary and secondary obesity:
  • Primary obesity, the most prevalent type, arises from genetic and environmental influences.
  • Secondary obesity stems from underlying medical conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome, hypothyroidism, or polycystic ovary syndrome.
  1. Sarcopenic obesity, prevalent among older adults, entails a loss of muscle mass and increased body fat. This condition is associated with health challenges like frailty and an increased risk of falls.
  2. Childhood obesity is a pressing concern as it steadily rises among children and adolescents. It is due to various health complications, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol levels.

Risk factors

Obesity often results from a combination of causes and contributing factors:

Lifestyle choices

Unhealthy diet

A diet that's high in calories, lacking in fruits and vegetables, full of fast food, and laden with high-calorie beverages and oversized portions contributes to weight gain.

Liquid calories.

People can drink many calories without feeling full, especially calories from alcohol. Other high-calorie beverages, such as sugared soft drinks, can contribute to weight gain.

Inactivity

If you have an inactive lifestyle, you can easily take in more calories every day than you burn through exercise and routine daily activities. Looking at computer, tablet and phone screens is inactivity. The number of hours spent in front of a screen is highly associated with weight gain.

Certain diseases and medications

In some people, obesity can be traced to a medical cause, such as hypothyroidism, Cushing syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome and other conditions. Medical problems, such as arthritis, also can lead to decreased activity, which may result in weight gain.

Some medicines can lead to weight gain if you don't compensate through diet or activity. These medicines include steroids, some antidepressants, anti-seizure medicines, diabetes medicines, antipsychotic medicines and certain beta blockers.

Age

Obesity can occur at any age, even in young children. But as you age, hormonal changes and a less active lifestyle increase your risk of obesity. The amount of muscle in your body also tends to decrease with age. Lower muscle mass often leads to a decrease in metabolism. These changes also reduce calorie needs and can make it harder to keep off excess weight. If you don't consciously control what you eat and become more physically active as you age, you'll likely gain weight.

Social and economic issues

Social and economic factors are linked to obesity. It's hard to avoid obesity if you don't have safe areas to walk or exercise. You may not have learned healthy ways of cooking. Or you may not have access to healthier foods. Also, the people you spend time with may influence your weight. You're more likely to develop obesity if you have friends or relatives with obesity.

Family inheritance and influences

The genes you inherit from your parents may affect the amount of body fat you store, and where that fat is distributed. Genetics also may play a role in how efficiently your body converts food into energy, how your body regulates your appetite and how your body burns calories during exercise.
Obesity tends to run in families. That's not just because of the genes they share. Family members also tend to share similar eating and activity habits.

Other factors

Pregnancy

Weight gain is common during pregnancy. Some women find this weight difficult to lose after the baby is born. This weight gain may contribute to the development of obesity in women.

Microbiome

The make-up of your gut bacteria is affected by what you eat and may contribute to weight gain or trouble losing weight.

Lack of sleep

Not getting enough sleep can cause changes in hormones that increase appetite. So can getting too much sleep. You also may crave foods high in calories and carbohydrates, which can contribute to weight gain.

Stress

Many external factors that affect mood and well-being may contribute to obesity. People often seek more high-calorie food during stressful situations.

Quitting smoking

Quitting smoking is often associated with weight gain. And for some, it can lead to enough weight gain to qualify as obesity. Often, this happens as people use food to cope with smoking withdrawal. But overall, quitting smoking is still a greater benefit to your health than is continuing to smoke. Your health care team can help you prevent weight gain after quitting smoking.

Even if you have one or more of these risk factors, it doesn’t mean that you’re destined to develop obesity. You can counteract most risk factors through diet, physical activity and exercise. Behavior changes, medicines and procedures for obesity also can help.

Obesity Treatment Options

Nutrition

Non-surgical therapy primarily includes dietary counseling to improve the weight loss program, with or without the use of supplements. Nutrition control and supplements are the foundations of weight loss and are highly individualistic. A reasonable goal for weight loss is approximately 1.0 -1.5 kg/wk in the sense of a nutrition-based treatment program. The concept that the weight loss target must be individualized for each subject and should not be unilaterally based on the traditional weight-for-height diet norms is becoming increasingly apparent.

Lifestyle Changes

The best way to start your weight loss program is to know where your lifestyle routine goes wrong and adjust it in order that you still work the proper way towards weight loss.

In the long run, simply starving in the name of diet and gym won't help. They will give you an initial satisfactory loss of weight, but you tend to lose energy after a few months and become weak instead of losing weight. To focus on your diet and lose weight without much hard work, you just need to be smart.

Exercise

Eating well is only part of the fight when it comes to good and effective weight loss. By burning calories and building muscle, physical exercise will help you inch closer to your goal. That's not the only reason, however for making exercise part of your everyday life. Exercise also helps avoid many infections, reduces stress, and makes you feel better.
