Obesity.
Obesity
is defined by abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health and is often accompanied by other medical complications such as high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Obesity is not simply a result of overeating; underlying causes may be genetic, environmental, metabolic, or psychological in nature. Hormones such as leptin or insulin are found to be dysregulated and have been associated with the regulation of appetite and feeling hungry.
