Obesity is a complex medical condition characterized by excessive body fat that can negatively affect health, increasing the risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, and more. It results from a combination of genetic, behavioral, metabolic, and environmental factors, including diet, physical activity levels, and socio-economic influences. As obesity rates rise globally, it has become a major focus of public health research, with scientists exploring its biological mechanisms, long-term health impacts, and effective prevention and treatment strategies—from lifestyle interventions to medications and bariatric surgery. Understanding obesity is key to addressing one of the most pressing health challenges of the modern era.
