Obesity has become a far more concluding source of threat for the individuals than any other in recent year. Being overweight feels bad but obesity not only make things look odd but also makes the individual vulnerable to possibly much more diseases as the immune system does not respond swiftly. If the Body Mass Index of a person increases beyond 30kg/m2 he is called obese.
There are different interpretations about the obesity around the world. In some parts of the world still it is considered as the criteria for elderliness because of the customs and cultures these parts had but in the western part of the world which mostly includes the developed countries the theory differs quite a lot. It has become a serious threat as it is the cause of diseases like heart diseases, diabetes, snoring and having difficulty in breathing, osteoarthritis and cancer (Kopelman, 2005). The ratio of death for these obese individuals have therefore increased quite considerably in the recent year allowing the people to take certain actions to make it right before the time runs out.
Obesity is causes by the dietary calories which accumulate themselves in various parts of the stomach and are not metabolized during metabolism rather stay there and accumulate more of it making it look unhealthy and fattish. The reasons of obesity are clear as well but it still depends upon the body of the individuals and how various parts of the body are stimulated to different things differently. In western countries major reasons for the cause of obesity are the inactivity in physical works and eating habits in conjunction with the medically identified genetic susceptibility and psychiatric illness.
Western countries are more organized in their approach to daily lives and the level of life expectancy has increased because of the availability of the medical expertise and research but still it has been found out that there are more than 300,000 deaths take place in United States just because of obesity (Boss & Karl G, 2004). That is a quite a large number if the success of United States in seen in medical terms but it is quite evident that the physical behaviors and responses of individuals are far more important before that person comes to take assistance in the hospitals. Doctors believe that the culture which United States provides to its people is the main cause of this. The people are no longer worried about the work as they even get allowances once they are down and out with the work. The eating habits plus the alcoholism destroys main functioning parts of the body making it irresponsibly difficult to react to certain conditions (Fumento, 1997). The obese smokers even have less morality rate than the simple obese ones and when the Body Mass Index increases beyond 40 the morality rate is decreased by 20 years for males and around 5 years for females.
