A Review on Obesity and Associated Disease

Abstract

Obesity is a significant public health issue that extends beyond industrialized nations, emerging as a critical concern in developing countries such as Bangladesh. Excessive caloric consumption resulting from heightened intake of refined sweets, sugary drinks, vegetable oils, processed and fast foods, coupled with insufficient physical exercise, a scarcity of recreational areas, and a sedentary lifestyle, contributes to the onset of obesity. Excess adiposity, sometimes referred to as obesity, and surplus body weight are linked to a heightened risk of several illnesses, including type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemias, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and cancer. This review article elucidates the pathophysiology and illness associations related to obesity.
