What are the causes of obesity?

The causes of obesity include a combination of genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors.

Contributing factors include poor dietary choices, such as high consumption of processed foods and sugary beverages, and sedentary lifestyle.

Genetics can play a role in predisposing individuals to obesity by influencing metabolism and fat storage.

Environmental factors, such as lack of access to healthy foods or safe spaces for physical activity, can also contribute.

Medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), may also be associated with obesity.
