slide 1: Impact of obesity on health
World Health Organisation WHO defines obesity as a disorder which is characterised by
abnormal built up of fat cells which influence the life of a person in a negative manner. There
has been a progressive increase of obesity cases since past 30 years on account of sedentary
lifestyle rise of fast food culture and consumption of alcohol among others. An obese person
usually gets vulnerable to many diseases that then create issues of mental emotional and social
origin. Here we define the set of issues that affect an obese person.
Threat of co-morbid disorders
Obesity gives rise to many co-morbid conditions related to heart renal functioning metabolism
as well as orthopaedic disorders which negatively impacts the life quality. Obese person is also
less physically active on account of shortness of breath and he or she also faces a hard time in
competing with peers. This situation further leads to increased weight gain as calorie
consumption is usually far more than what is burned.
Impact on female population
In case of females obesity may lead to development of type 2 diabetes and coronary heart
disease. She may also start to suffer from low back pain and develop knee osteoarthritis. An
obese female also faces issues in contraception and fertility and there is an increased possibility
of having to undergo caesarean section. In severe cases there may be situations of negative
pregnancy outcomes like malformations and neonatal mortality. Even after child birth she may
feel a decrease in intent initiation and length of breastfeeding. Research further suggests that an
obese female may develop multiple cancers like ovarian and cervical among others.
Psychological disorders
These issues are fairly common in teenagers where obese person faces social stigma due to
negative stereotypes that surround it. He or she may be less likeable in the group which may lead
to low self-esteem in comparison to fitter peers. In a due course of time the child may start
feeling lonely and withdraw himself from society thereby leading to depression.
