Abstract

Obesity has been linked to a number of health issues including sleep apnea, heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes. It can also have a negative impact on mental health as well as quality of life and lead to joint issues like osteoarthritis. Obesity can be brought on by a variety of factors, including genetics, the environment, and lifestyle choices. A diet high in calories but low in nutrients, inactivity, lack of sleep, stress and certain medical conditions and medications are all factors that contribute to obesity.
