The world has witnessed an increase in the cases of Obesity among people of all age groups. As per the report of Global Burden of Disease published in 2017, the issue of Obesity has grown to epidemic proportions with around 4 million people losing lives each year to Obesity. Simply put, Obesity is an abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that poses a health risk. It occurs when you consume more calories than you burn through normal daily activities and exercise.
Excessive body fat in the body changes the way the body functions and can deteriorate over time and can also lead to adverse health effects. Whether someone is higher weight or not is generally measured through BMI (Body Mass Index). BMI is a measurable indicator that can help alert you to obesity-related health risks. If your BMI is between 18.5 and 25, you are within the healthy weight range. If your BMI is between 25.0 and 30, you are considered higher weight. Obesity is defined as having a BMI of 30.0 or higher. Consumption of energy-dense foods high in fat and free sugars has increased in recent decades as global diets have changed. Physical activity has also decreased as the nature of many types of work has also changed.
Health risks due to Obesity: When the body is storing excess fat, it can greatly impact its functioning. Although the change might not be subtle, it can worsen over time and give birth to adverse health effects. Obesity is a major risk factor for a variety of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and stroke, which are the leading causes of death worldwide. Obesity can cause diabetes and its complications, such as blindness, limb amputations. In addition to this, excess weight can cause musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis. A higher-weight person has also been linked to cancers such as endometrial, breast, ovarian, prostate, liver, gallbladder, kidney, and colon.
How does Obesity impact the quality of life?
The long-existing condition of Obesity not only adversely affects how our bodily functions but also has many social and emotional implications. Obesity can reduce the overall quality of life. People suffering from Obesity cannot do many physical activities that an individual with normal weight can do. Those with Obesity can also sense a feeling of shame. They can avoid public places and may encounter discrimination when it comes to professional opportunities. The higher weight issues are also related to serious issues with depression, disability, social isolation, and lower work achievement.
