What leads to obesity?
Obesity is considered as a "Killer lifestyle" disease and is an important cause of preventable death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1.2 billion people worldwide (12% of the world’s population) are officially classified as overweight. Also, more than 3 percent (3 crores) of the Indian population is obese. Thus obesity is a serious worldwide health epidemic and it is predicted to double in the next 5 years. There are more than 30 medical conditions (diabetes, heart disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, infertility, respiratory diseases, sleep apnea, etc.) that are associated with obesity. Individuals who are obese are at risk of developing one or more of these serious medical conditions, causing poor health or, in severe cases, early death.
Causes Of Obesity
As per the World Health Organization (WHO) the fundamental cause of obesity and overweight is an energy imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended. It means, if a person eats more calories than he or she burns (metabolizes), the person gains weight (the body will store the excess energy as fat).
Increase Intake of Food
Increased intake of foods, particularly foods high in fat and sugars (sugary drinks, alcohol, junk and processed foods), leads to obesity.
Decrease in Physical Activities
Decrease in physical activity due to the increasingly sedentary nature of work, changing modes of transportation, and increasing urbanization contributes to weight gain.
Genetics
Genetics can affect hormones involved in fat regulation. Leptin is a hormone which controls weight by signaling the brain to eat less when body fat stores are too high. If, for some reason, the body cannot produce enough leptin or leptin cannot signal the brain to eat less, this control is lost, and obesity occurs.
Diet High in Simple Carbohydrates
Simple carbohydrates (sugars, fructose, desserts, soft drinks, beer, wine, etc.) contribute to weight gain because they are more rapidly absorbed and in turn stimulate insulin release. Insulin promotes the growth of fat tissue and can cause weight gain.
Medications
Medications associated with weight gain include certain anti-depressants, anti-convulsants, some anti-diabetic medications, anti-histaminics, anti-hypertensives, certain hormones such as oral contraceptives and most corticosteroids.
Diseases
Diseases or medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome, and Cushing's syndrome are also contributors to obesity. Some diseases, such as Prader-Willi syndrome, can lead to obesity.
Symptoms
Common signs and symptoms of Obesity include:
-
Excess body fat accumulation (particularly around the waist)
-
Shortness of breath
-
Sweating
-
Snoring
-
Trouble sleeping
-
Skin problems (from moisture accumulating in the folds of skin)
-
Inability to perform simple physical tasks (that one could easily perform before weight gain)
-
Fatigue
-
Pain (commonly in the back and joints)
-
Psychological impact (negative self-esteem, depression, shame and social isolation).
