Abstract :

Obesity is a rapidly growing global public health concern. The prevalence of obesity has significantly increased in numerous nations across the globe over the past thirty years, potentially attributed to factors such as urbanization, sedentary behavior, and the rise in intake of high-calorie processed food. The significant rise in childhood obesity indicates a substantial future challenge in preventing chronic diseases within global public healthcare systems. Medical costs connected to obesity can be avoided to a considerable extent and can be improved by therapies that focus on modifying lifestyle habits and managing weight in older individuals.
