| What are the Causes of Obesity? |
Obesity is caused by complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. It is difficult to determine if genetics play a dominant role or environmental factors play the dominant role in causation of obesity. In general a favorable environment and a genetic susceptibility interact to cause obesity. The actual causes of obesity are still not clear despite tremendous development in medical science, including understanding of molecular pathways which regulate energy balance in humans, an essential component in pathogenesis of obesity. The cause obesity seems to be simple, such as chronic and excess consumption of food (calories) than expenditure of energy. But this theory of chronic excess nutrient intake relative to the level of energy expenditure does not hold in every obese individual, which proves that there are several other causes of obesity than simple consumption of excess food than we need.
