###Obesity and its Types

Wait! Does obesity have types?
Obesity is typically defined as a substantial accumulation of body fat that could impact health. Obesity is based on body mass index (BMI) – a ratio of a person's weight in kilograms to the square of their height in meters. As a result of this, Obesity is further classified into different classes based on BMI. Obesity can be class I, class II, and others. For class I obesity, the BMI is 30.0 – 34.9 30 to -35 kg/m ². It is characterized by the accumulation of fat predominantly around the abdominal region. This gives the body a round shape which increases the susceptibility to diseases such as osteoarthritis and Alzheimer's disease. Class II obesity falls between 35.0 – 39.9 kg/m ² BMI. This involves the accumulation of fat primarily around the hips, buttocks, and thighs. As a result, the body presumes a triangular body shape, where the hips and thighs are wider compared to the shoulders and bust. Various factors such as the distribution of fat in the body, underlying causes, and associated health risks are what differentiate these
classes of obesity. It should be known that those factors also inhibit the basic metabolic index.

###Obesity Fatality

For obesity fatality, class I obesity could be more fatal. This is because class I obesity accumulates fat around the abdominal region which leads to visceral fat deposition.
visceral fat deposition is related to many complications such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and inflammation. These factors significantly increase the risk of developing secondary infections such as cardiovascular diseases
which can be life-threatening if not managed properly. Moreover, class I obesity is often linked with an increased risk of certain cancers (such as colon, breast, and prostate cancers) which can further contribute to the mortality risk. Class II obesity characterized by fat accumulation around the hips, buttocks, and thighs, is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases compared to class I obesity.
However, it still carries health risks and can contribute to mortality indirectly through associated conditions like insufficiency and psychological issues related to body image and self-esteem.

###Obesity family history

My elder step sister who was born in a branch family used to have constant struggles with her weight issues
since the divorce of her parents. This divorce caused mental turmoil in her which made her remain indoors most of the time.
She also engaged in unhealthy food habits usually consisting of sugary and butter content. This worsens the existing weight complications of class I obesity.
This obesity took a toll on her self-esteem and relationships. This affected her personal and professional life, her weight acting as a barrier to her aspirations.
When she finally came to our place, we became her ally, offering encouragement, companionship, and practical guidance on nutrition and exercise. She later found the strength to confront her demons, gradually adopting healthier habits and seeking professional help to address the emotional roots of her eating disorder. Their family's history of obesity had once cast a shadow over her life, but with our love and support, she had rewritten her story, proving that with courage and determination, anything was possible.
