Obesity

1.00 (2 votes)
Document Description
Obesity was once blamed on lack of willpower and overindulgence by the individual. This is not true. Some research suggests that people with obesity do not eat more than the average person. Today, physicians see it as a medical condition caused by a complex interaction of genetic, metabolic, behavioral and environmental factors that we don’t completely understand and with no simple cure. Obesity is best thought of as a chronic condition requiring long-term treatment.
