Obesity
Obesity is a metabolic disorder characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat. It occurs when an individual consumes more calories than they burn, leading to an imbalance in energy expenditure. Obesity is a complex issue influenced by various factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors. It significantly increases the risk of numerous health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer. Effective management of obesity typically involves a combination of dietary modifications, regular physical activity, and behavioural interventions.
