AB Disease  summary:Common  obesity  has  conventionally  been  viewed  as  a  disease  that  is  caused  by  substantial  changes  in  the  human  environment,  for  example,  the  increase  in  consumption  of  calorie-rich  food  and  decrease  in  physical  activity.  There  is  also  strong  evidence  that  genes  are  critically  involved  in  the  development  of  obesity.  Obesity  is  a  major  risk  factor  for  cardiovascular  diseases,  pulmonary  diseases  (such  as  sleep  apnea),  metabolic  diseases  (eg,  diabetes  and  dyslipidemia),  osteoarticular  diseases,  for  several  of  the  commonest  forms  of  cancer,  and  for  serious  psychiatric  illness.
