Obesity is a condition of abnormal body weight resultingfrom an accumulation of extra adipose tissue, generally in response to a state ofpositive energy balance that occurs when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. Obesity is characterized by an elevated body mass index (BM!), which s defined as the weight of an individual in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters. The cause of obesity is complex but a combination of behavioral, genetic, hormonal and economic factors but also in terms of its distribution through waist circumference or waist-hip circumference ratio measurements. In addition, the presence of obesity needs to be regarded in the context of other riskfactors and comorbidities.
