obesity
  english  
 
Difino
Obesity is a condition where the natural energy reserve, stored in the fatty tissue of humans and mammals is increased to the point where it may impair health. Obesity in wild animals is relatively rare, but it is common in domestic animals like pigs and household pets who may be overfed and underexercised. In humans it is generally considered to be a leading cause of health problems.
Excessive body weight has been shown to predispose to various forms of disease, particularly cardiovascular disease. Interventions, such as weight loss and medication, are frequently recommended to reduce the risk of developing disease. Additionally, many people undertake weight loss regimens for health and aesthetic reasons.
