obesity results from a combination of causes and contributing factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, metabolism, eating behaviour, and the availability of unhealthy foods.
diagnosing obesity is often based on body mass index (bmi), which is a calculation derived from an individual's height and weight. however, other factors like waist circumference and overall health conditions are also considered.
treatment for obesity includes lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, behaviour changes, prescription medications, and in some cases, weight-loss surgery.
prevention of obesity requires a combination of personal choices and social and environmental changes, including promoting healthy eating habits and physical activity.
