Obesity And Its Effects On Obesity - 1554 Words

Obesity is a condition that is characterized by excess body weight due to the overconsumption of calories in relation to the calorie loss. There are however other associated causes of obesity that have been identified by the scholars and the variables involved in the trend of this condition have a significant correlation. Different tools have been implemented overtime in the management of obesity to mitigate the short term and the long-term effects that result from this condition. However, there has been a variance in the view of the prevalence and incidence of obesity. This has caused a lack of a common ground among the researchers; making this topic an endless motion. Some of†¦show more content†¦The nation defines the target group to comprise of all the members of public as they are all at risk of obesity while the communities are more specific as they tend to address the subgroups of the affected and infected (Clutton, Grisbrooke Pengelly, 2006). Despite the variance i n the target-population among most researchers, all the age groups should be the target population but it should be noted that some reports have exaggerated information especially on the trend of the disease. There are reports that postulate that there will be increased incidence of obesity in the future but most of the figures are exaggerated, as they are not in line with the past occurrences. Whereas most studies have, recorded increase of the obesity prevalence with the increase in time the difference is not significant as it lies below one. Information that is not based on facts can be misleading and increase the plight of those suffering from the disease and in return lead to other complications. For example an adolescent who accesses information that most of the heavy people have a threefold risk of obesity incidence than the thin people is likely to be frightened and decide starve in the name of dieting leading to bulimia and anorexia conditions. The paper outlines facts of o besity that are not exaggerated and will thereby; reduce the tension of the condition leading to a calm way of dealing with this challenge. There is a difference
