Quick Fact...

What Causes Obesity?
Overweight and obesity occur when a person consumes more calories than the body burns. The causes of this imbalance differ from one person to the next and may be linked to any number of environmental, genetic, psychological, or other factors.
Genetic Factors:
Obesity occurs in families, supporting the theory that it may be partly genetic.

Environmental Factors
Genetics alone do not predispose certain individuals to obesity. Environmental factors such as lifestyle behaviors, food choices, and level of physical activity also play a key role. Those who consistently eat high-fat foods and those with a sedentary lifestyle are more prone to obesity. Although you cannot change your genetic makeup, you can make long-term changes in your eating habits and in your lifestyle to help you effectively manage your weight.

Psychological Factors
Psychological factors have been shown to influence eating habits. A small percentage of obese people suffer from binge eating disorder. During a binge eating episode, a person feels she has no control over her eating and will eat large quantities of food in a relatively short span of time. This can lead to feelings of extreme guilt and shame. Binge eating disorder, like other eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia, is characterized by depression and low self-esteem. Those suffering from binge eating disorder have more trouble losing weight and maintaining weight than those who do not suffer from binge eating problems.

Other Causes of Obesity
Some illnesses such as hypothyroidism, Cushing’s Syndrome, depression, and certain neurological disorders can lead to obesity. Some steroids and antidepressants and certain birth control pills have been known to cause weight gain. Your doctor will be able to determine whether underlying medical conditions or other ailments are causing weight gain or impeding weight loss.
Health risks associated with obesity

Obesity can lead to the development of other diseases and medical conditions, including Diabetes Melitis Type II, heart disease, hypertension, high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Obesity is also linked to certain types of cancer. Obese women, for example, are more likely to develop breast, cervical, uterine, or ovarian cancer. Other diseases linked to obesity include:
• Gallbladder disease and gallstones
• Liver disease
• Osteoarthritis
• Gout
• Pulmonary problems including sleep apnea
• Irregular menstrual periods and infertility
