'''Obesity ''' The word "Obesity" means the presence of excessive body fat.It is generally based on the Body Mass Index (BMI), which you can check utilizing a BMI adding machine. BMI looks at your weight to your height. If you are BMI is 25 to 29.9, you're not obese you are just overweight. A BMI of at least 30 is in the corpulent range. How Obesity Can Affect Your Health Obesity can help explain some conditions you may have, such as:

1.High blood pressure 2.Heart disease and stroke 3.Type 2 diabetes 4.High cholesterol 5.Joint problems caused by extra weight 6.Trouble breathing, including sleep apnea, in which you briefly stop breathing while you're asleep 7.Gallstones

Obesity happens over time when you eat more calories than you use. The balance between calories-intake and calories-out contrasts for every individual. Elements that may influence your weight incorporate your hereditary cosmetics, gorging, eating high-fat nourishments, and not being physically dynamic.

Obesity increases your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, and some cancers. If you have obesity, losing even 5 to 10 percent of your weight can delay or prevent some of these diseases. For example, that means losing 10 to 20 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds

Effect of Obesity on younger generation

Obesity among the young the generation had become a recent trend, student within the age group of 10-18 are prone to obesity, the reason for this is quite obvious nowadays student or children spent more time with there video games than playing outside, so due to lack of proper physical activity they tend to gain weight which results in lots of health issues like heart attack at very young age, high cholesterol etc.

Other factors in the child's environment can also lead to obesity. Family, friends, and school setting help shape a child's diet and exercise choices. Food may be used as a reward or to comfort a child. These learned habits can lead to overeating. Many people have a hard time breaking these habits later in life.

Genetics, medical conditions, and emotional disorders can also increase a child's risk for obesity. Hormone disorders or low thyroid function, and certain medications, such as steroids or anti-seizure medications, can increase a child's appetite. Over time, this increases their risk for obesity.

An unhealthy focus on eating, weight, and body image can lead to an eating disorder. Obesity and eating disorders often occur at the same time in teenage girls and young adult women who may be unhappy with their body image.

Review of Literature

My first review is based on the journal " Obesity among Iranian Adolescent Girls: Location of Residence and" written by  Mohsen Maddah and Bahreh Nikooyeh. This article basically a is cross-section study which was conducted to investigate the prevalence and predictors of overweight and obesity by the location of residence among randomly-selected 2,577 urban school girls aged 12-17 years in Rasht, Iran, by area of habitation among haphazardly chose 2,577 urban school young ladies matured 12-17 years in Rasht, Iran. Information on age, recurrence of skipping breakfast every week, physical movement, hours of TV seeing, self-observation about body condition, and home rights of parents, and employment status of mothers were asked to the parents using a self-administrated questionnaire. The overall prevalence of overweight and obesity in this population was 18.6% and 5.9% respectively. Overweight or obesity was more common among girls from low-income areas compared to high-income area. This article basically show us the reality of how and why children in Iran are affected by the obesity and that to specially in girls.

My next review is based on the article " The role of obesity and lifestyle behaviors in the productive workforce" this article basically talks about lifestyle-related factors, especially smoking and obesity were associated with the presence and duration of sick leave and degree of productivity loss at work. More than 10% of sick leave and the higher levels of productivity loss at work may be attributed to lifestyle behaviours and obesity. Hence, primaryinterventions on lifestyle may have a noticeable contribution to maintaining a productive workforce.
