What is the cause of obesity?

Obesity is a multifaceted condition that arises from a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. At its core, obesity results from an imbalance between the calories consumed and the calories burned. Consuming more calories than the body can use leads to excess fat accumulation. Lifestyle factors such as a sedentary routine, lack of physical exercise, and poor dietary habits—such as high consumption of processed and sugary foods—are major contributors. Genetic predispositions can also affect how the body stores fat and regulates appetite. Additionally, hormonal imbalances and metabolic disorders, such as hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can further complicate weight management.

Emotional factors, including stress, anxiety, and depression, can contribute to overeating and unhealthy eating patterns, exacerbating obesity. Social and environmental factors, such as living in areas with limited access to healthy foods or having a culture that promotes high-calorie foods, also play a significant role.
