3.  Obesity is a complex, multifactorial disease that
develops from the interaction between genotype and
the environment.
 Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally,
with more than 1 billion adults overweight - at least
300 million of them clinically obese - and is a major
contributor to the global burden of chronic disease
and disability.
 Today, health care practitioners are encouraged to
play a greater role in the management of obesity.

methods of treatment.
OBESITY

4.  Obese individuals may also suffer from social
stigmatization and discrimination. overweight and
obesity pose a major public health challenge.
 However, overweight and obesity are not mutually
exclusive, since obese persons are also overweight. A
BMI of 30 indicates an individual is about 30 pounds
overweight; it may be exemplified by a 221-pound
person who is 6 feet tall or a 186-pound individual
who is 5 feet 6 inches tall.

5.  Overweight and obesity lead to adverse metabolic
effects on blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides
and insulin resistance.
 Some confusion of the consequences of obesity arise
because researchers have used different BMI cut-offs,
and because the presence of many medical conditions
involved in the development of obesity may confuse
the effects of obesity itself.
 The non-fatal, but debilitating health problems
associated with obesity include respiratory
difficulties, chronic musculoskeletal problems, skin
problems and infertility.
EFFECT ON HEALTH

6.  The likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes and
hypertension rises steeply with increasing body
fatness.
 Approximately 85% of people with diabetes are type
2, and of these, 90% are obese or overweight. And
this is increasingly becoming a developing world
problem. In 1995, the Emerging Market Economies
had the highest number of diabetics.

7.  Creating supportive population-based environments
through public policies that promote the availability
and accessibility of a variety of low-fat, high-fibre
foods, and that provide opportunities for physical
activity.
 Eating more fruit and vegetables, as well as nuts and
whole grains.
 Engaging in daily moderate physical activity for at
least 30 minutes. Cutting the amount of fatty, sugary
foods in the diet. Moving from saturated animal-
based fats to unsaturated vegetable-oil based fats.
