What is obesity?

Obesity is a widespread health concern impacting millions worldwide. Multiple factors contribute to obesity, including unhealthy eating habits, eating disorders, underlying illnesses, specific medications, sedentary lifestyles, anxiety, and hereditary factors.

Obesity can lead to conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and irregular digestion, impacting both physical and social aspects of life.
