Obesity has become a global health problem affecting people of all
ages, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Obesity, defined as an
abnormal muscle-to-fat ratio, is more than just a correction problem; it
is a complex disease with many causes and far-reaching consequences.
Overweight has become more common over the years due to various factors
such as a sedentary lifestyle, poor eating habits, hereditary
tendencies, and natural consequences. This pandemic presents significant
challenges to global health systems, as obesity is significantly
associated with several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular
disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and mental disorders.
In addition to physical health risks, obesity seriously affects mental
health and financial stability. People who struggle with rigidity
typically experience social stigma, isolation, and decreased personal
happiness. In addition, the economic burden of obesity includes
increasing medical costs, lower performance, and a diminished future.
Addressing the problem of obesity requires a comprehensive plan that
includes preventive, interventional and curative measures. Promoting
healthy lifestyles through exercise, creating cohesive settings that
promote physical activity and nutritious diets, and designing programs
that increase access to affordable, high- quality food choices are all
critical steps in the fight against obesity.
This presentation paves the way for a deeper exploration of the causes,
consequences and pathways of weight control and treatment, emphasizing
the importance of concerted efforts at the individual, community, and
cultural levels to alleviate this unavoidable public health condition a
challenge.
