"Obesity is a condition in which the natural energy
reserve, stored in
the
fatty tissue
of
humans and
other
mammals, is
increased
to a point where it is a risk factor for certain
health
conditions or increased
mortality.
Obesity develops from the interaction of individual
biology and
the environment. Excessive body weight has been shown to
predispose to various
diseases,
particularly
cardiovascular diseases,
diabetes mellitus type 2,
sleep apnea,
and
osteoarthritis.
Obesity is both an individual clinical
condition and is
increasingly viewed as a serious
public health."
