[b]Factors contributing its growth[/b]

The profound changes in the society and behavioral patterns of communities have fuelled the growth of this condition especially in the recent decades. Even if genes play an important role in determining the susceptibility of the person to weight gain, the energy consumption and balance is attained through calorie intake and physical activities. Therefore, societal factors, worldwide nutritional transition are the major drivers for this epidemic. Moreover, the economic growth, globalization of food, urbanization of the food markets is some of the factors that underlie this epidemic. Lastly, the increase in the disposable income has led populations to opt for diets high in complex carbohydrates with varied proportions of fats, sugars and unsaturated fats which gave birth to this condition.

To curb these problems, governments and health officials are designing various effective weight management programs and weight loss clinical trials that are part of the part of an integrated, multi-sectoral, population-based approach, which further includes physical activities and healthy diets. Furthermore, healthcare institutions are mounting various healthcare programs and clinical trials in response to this epidemic and ensuring effective support for those affected to lose weight or avoid further weight gain.
