Obesity is a condition where excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that it can cause a negative effect on health. It is a clinical situation in which a person has increased so much fat that it would have a negative effect on their fitness and health.  People are usually thought as overweight once their body mass index (BMI), a measuring obtained by dividing a individual’s weight by the sq. of the person's height, is over thirty kg/m², with the vary 25–30 kg/m² defined as overweight. It is most commonly caused by a combination of lack of physical activity, excessive food intake and genetic susceptibility. It is mostly preventable through a combination of exercise, social changes and personal choices. Obesity may be a leading avoidable explanation for death worldwide, with increasing rates in adults as well as kids.

Track 2: Genetics of Obesity

Obesity is very heritable. Obesity can be a complicating disorder resulting from the interactions of a wide variety of hereditary and environmental factors. Polymorphisms in various genes responsible for appetite and metabolism are vulnerable to obesity under certain dietary conditions. One gene mutation, the melanocortin 4 receptor, may be responsible for tens of thousands of cases of obesity. Monogenic type of genetic mutation can result in severe forms of obesity that run in families. Occurrences of monogenic kinds of overweight are evidence that obesity may be caused by genetic mutations. The most common forms of obesity are largely the result of disparity within a large number of genes.

Track 3: Nutritional Imbalance

Nutritional imbalance is caused by inability of the body to absorb certain nutrients or may result from a poor balanced diet.

Track 6: Imbalanced Diet: Effects and Causes
