Frequently Asked Questions
Is obesity a chronic disease?
Yes, obesity is a chronic disease that is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health.
The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) and the American College of Endocrinology (ACE) have published practice guidelines for treating patients with obesity.
What factors contribute to obesity?
The main contributing factors of obesity can be broken into 3 categories: societal, environmental, and genetic.
Examples of societal and environmental factors of obesity include changes in food production and availability, decreases in energy expenditure due to more sedentary lifestyles, socioeconomic status, cultural influences, and societal changes such as overeating and reduced physical activity.
Genetic factors of obesity may determine the extent to which these societal and environmental factors will impact a patient’s weight.10
What physiological mechanisms contribute to obesity?
When you eat less to lose weight, your body goes through a change called metabolic adaptation.
This makes your body slow down how fast it uses energy and changes the hormones that control how hungry you feel.
This can make it hard to keep weight off for a long time.
Does obesity increase the risk of mortality?
Yes, increased BMI results in higher risk of mortality; in fact, for every 5 kg/m2 BMI increment above the range of 22.5-25 kg/m2, there is a 30% increase in overall mortality.
How does obesity impact patients aside from their physical health?
Patients with obesity can face a multitude of challenges, both socially and psychologically, including self-esteem issues as well as weight biases in both social and workplace situations.
