Disease of Obesity

Disease of Obesity

Obesity is no longer considered a cosmetic issue that is caused by overeating and a lack of self-control. 
The World Health Organization (W.H.O.), along with National and International medical and scientific societies, now recognize obesity as a chronic progressive disease resulting from multiple environmental and genetic factors.

The disease of obesity is extremely costly not only in terms of economics, but also in terms of individual and societal health, longevity, and psychological well-being. 
Due to its progressive nature, obesity requires life-long treatment and control.
