What kind of disease does obesity fall into? What are the causes of obesity

Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease caused by a variety of factors. It is characterized by an increase in the volume or number of fat cells in the body, resulting in an abnormally high percentage of body fat as a percentage of body weight and excessive fat deposits in certain areas. This refers to simple obesity, which is obesity without endocrine and metabolic disorders.

In order to be healthy, we must be positive and control our weight within the normal range. The dietary measures can be summarized as: more work and less leisure, more meals and less satiety, more vegetarian and less meat, more light taste and less sweet and salty.

Of course, in addition to obesity caused by congenital genetic factors, generally only need to choose the right regular hospital under the guidance of a doctor to achieve the desired effect.

Obesity is a metabolic disease. Patients often have a number of other metabolic problems. Obesity leads to insulin resistance, abnormal sugar levels, and hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperuricemia.

Of course. If there is no obvious ** to be found, it is called simple obesity; Those with definite ** are called secondary obesity.

The main common complications of obesity are as follows:

obesity complicated by hypertension;

obesity complicated by coronary heart disease and various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases;

obesity complicated by diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia;

obesity complicated by pulmonary insufficiency;

obesity complicated by fatty liver;

obesity complicated by reproductive-sexual insufficiency;

Respiratory diseases, dyspnea, wheezing, palpitations, etc. after exertion.

Pediatric obesity is a disease caused by excessive accumulation of body fat due to greater energy intake than expenditure. It is generally considered that a weight of more than 20% of the average body weight of the standard body weight is considered obese. So what are the ** of obesity? Next, let me take you to find out.

1.Chronic excessive energy intake. Most obese children live in families with greasy and sweet foods, and develop the habit of overeating since childhood.

2.Too little exercise. There is debate about whether too little exercise is a cause of obesity or a consequence of obesity, but it is certain that too little exercise is important for the maintenance of obesity.

3.Genetic factors. Two-thirds of children whose parents are obese also tend to be obese.

4.Psychological factors. Emotional trauma or psychological abnormalities due to various causes can induce them to overeat.

5.Other factors. Pediatric obesity can also be caused by endocrine metabolic disorders, hypothalamic diseases, etc., that is, secondary obesity.

Obesity can occur at any age, but is particularly likely to occur in 1 year of age, 5-6 years of age, and adolescents. The child has a good appetite, eats a lot of food, and is lazy to move. He is obese and tall.

The subcutaneous fat is very thick and evenly distributed, and white and purple streaks can be seen on the abdomen**. However, intellectual and sexual development is generally within the normal range. Pediatric obesity often has mental disorders, mood disorders, and low self-esteem, which can become additional causes of obesity or maintenance of obesity, and severe obesity can be complicated by arthropathy, varicose veins of the lower limbs, and can also be accompanied by hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc.

1.Avoid overeating. In order to change the concept that "the fatter a child is, the healthier he is", we should pay attention to avoiding overeating from infancy and early childhood.

Children should not eat too much starchy food, fried food and sweets, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Eat a balanced diet and not overeat at one meal.

2.Regular physical activity. Babies can start doing passive health exercises. Children should not spend too much time watching TV and encourage more activity.

4) Simple obesity must be persistent. First of all, we should start with dietary management, restrict diet, encourage and arrange a certain amount of activities, and at the same time relieve the child's ideological burden.

1.Restrict your diet. Dietary restrictions must be accompanied by nutritional needs to ensure the normal growth and development of children, and not to cause weight loss too quickly. Children have a strong appetite and can be given a large amount of vegetables and fruits to gradually reduce their habitual eating.

2.Increase physical activity. Gradually increase the amount of activity and activity, starting with sports such as walking and playing ball, and cultivate their interest, which can be done for 1 to 2 hours at a time. At the same time, children are encouraged to participate in household activities.

3.Family and social support. There must be family and social support, preferably to change the family's living and eating habits. Children cannot be restricted from overeating at the same time as their parents.
