Scene 3

Obesity is often defined simply as a condition of abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in the fat tissues (adipose tissue) of the body leading to health hazards. The underlying cause is a positive energy balance leading to weight gain i.e. when the calories consumed exceed the calories expended.

While a majority of obese individuals at any given time are attempting to lose weight and are often successful, research shows that maintaining that weight loss over the long term proves to be rare The reasons for weight cycling are not fully understood but may include decreased energy expenditure combined with an increased biological urge to eat during and after caloric restriction. More studies are needed to determine if weight cycling and yo-yo dieting contribute to inflammation and disease risk in obese individuals. Obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide, with increasing rates in adults and children In 2015, 600 million adults (12%) and 100 million children were obese in 195 countries Obesity is more common in women than in men. Public health officials view it as one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. Today, obesity is stigmatized in most of the world (particularly in the Western world). Conversely, some cultures, past and present, have a favorable view of obesity, seeing it as a symbol of wealth and fertility.
