Abstract:
Obesity represents a state of excess storage of body fat. Although very similar, the termoverweight is defined as an excess body weight for height. The term obesity is derived from the Latin word ‗obese‘, which means ‗fattened by eating‘. Obesity is complex, wherein the net energy intake exceeds the net energy expenditure over a prolonged period of time which tips the energy balance in favour of weight gain. It is a complex multifactor chronic disease that develops from an interaction of genotype and the environment.
