Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat accumulates to the extent that increases the risk of health complications such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease, arthritis, gallstones, sleep apnea, etc. It’s defined in terms of a person's weight and height, or his/her Body Mass Index (BMI). A person with a BMI 25 and above (as per south Asian cut off) are classified as ‘Obese’.
The most common causes of obesity are overeating and physical inactivity. Overall, body weight is the result of genetics, metabolism, environment, behavior and culture. If you consume high amounts of energy, particularly fat and sugars, but do not burn off the energy through exercise and physical activity, much of the surplus energy will be stored by the body as fat. The following two terms ‘Android’ and ‘Gynoid’ classify obesity according to fat distribution. In the ‘Android’ type of obesity, the person stores fat around his or her abdominal region also known as ‘Apple’ shaped obesity or ‘Central’ obesity. While in the Gynoid type of obesity, the excess fat is being deposited somewhere at the hip and thigh areas also known as PEAR shaped obesity.
Weight reduction in individuals who are overweight/obese can reduce health risks, increase fitness, and may delay the onset of diabetes too. It could reduce pain and increase movement in people with osteoarthritis of the knee. Weight loss can lead to a reduction in hypertension (high blood pressure),but it can occur when the body is expending more energy in work and metabolism than it’s absorbing from food or other nutrients. It will then use stored reserves from fat or muscle, gradually leading to weight reduction.
