Depending on the area of fat distribution it can be generalized, central, android, or gynoid. Genetics and family history has been found to play a role in the etiology of obesity. read more »»

However, lifestyle and food habits have a major role to play. A sedentary lifestyle and exposure to a lot of food predispose an individual to obesity. Once obesity sets in, a cascade of other comorbid conditions is set in motion. Learn all about obesity and its etiology in this course designed by Medvarsity and Dosily.
