Abstract

Obesity is a disorder that consists of many factors, which has become a global epidemic since it is associated with various crucial diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, stroke, sleep apnea, as well as other conditions. In order to manage obesity, a variety of strategies are taken into account in order to direct attention on those with current weight problems as well as those that are at a high risk of developing obesity. Therefore, obesity prevention should be focused during the early ages as there is a high risk of developing it in the later years. This article focuses on the risk factors of obesity as well as many preventive treatment options for obesity.
