Right! Obesity is considered a chronic disease. Chronic diseases are defined broadly as a condition that lasts a year or more, requires medical attention or limits daily living activities or both. The three leading chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. And Obesity is associated with all three of these chronic diseases. With the increasing population of overweight people, it seems that tackling obesity will be an important issue in the coming times.
There are many reasons why some people suffer from obesity or have difficulty avoiding obesity. Obesity results from a combination of causes and individual factors such as behaviour and genetics. Behaviour factors can include physical activity, inactivity, dietary patterns, medication use, and also other exposures. Obesity is a complex health issue in which a person has an excessive amount of body fat or an unhealthy distribution of body fat. More than just a cosmetic concern, obesity is a medical problem that increases the risk of other diseases and health problems affecting nearly every part of the body. Obesity can cause complex changes in hormones and metabolism and increase inflammation in the body. It can also lead to increased chances of heart diseases and stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and even some cancers. People suffering from obesity can also experience illnesses such as clinical depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders along with body pain and difficulty with physical functioning.
However, the good news is that you can treat or prevent the risk factors associated with obesity. A good combination of diet, increased physical activity and lifestyle changes can help control and even lose weight.
