Understanding Obesity
Obesity is a condition defined by an abnormal accumulation of fat that can lead to adverse health effects (Bray, 2004). According to the WHO, 1 in 8 people in the world were obese in 2022. It was estimated that 40.3% of the Indian population was affected by obesity by 2020. (Venkatrao et al., 2020). This makes it a significant public health concern which needs to be addressed.
Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, stroke, arthritis, certain types of cancer, and other chronic conditions (Bray, 2004; Herrera et al., 2011).
