The Current State of the Obesity Crisis 

Obesity is a condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems.

Obesity has been shown to be a result of the interaction of genes, behaviour, and environment. The condition is associated with chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and sleep apnea. Obesity is a major public health problem because it leads to many serious complications that reduce the quality of life and contribute significantly to economic costs. In this section, we will be discussing the current state of the obesity crisis. We will discuss what causes obesity, what are its effects on our lives and how it can be prevented in the future. Obesity is prevalent on the world today. The percentage of people in the United States that are obese has increased significantly during the past 30 years. In 1980, 3% of Americans were obese, but in 2011-2012 it was 35%. More than one-third of U.S children and adolescents are also classified as obese.
