Obesity is a condition that is characterized by the excessive accumulation and storage of fat in a person’s body. Obesity affects not just the appearance but also the disease process too. Being overweight is when a person’s body mass index which is known as (BMI) of 25 or higher. Overweight is defined as a BMI of 25 to 29, and obesity is defined as (BMI) which is greater than or equal to 30. Obesity is also a disease from the interactions of a wide variety and also environmental factors. Scientist shows that genetics plays a role in obesity.
in the year 0f 2005 the world health organization which is a specialized agency of the United Nations estimated there were about one billion adults worldwide who were overweight. Obesity can increase …show more content…
One disorder is Bardet-Biedl which is a ciliopathy human genetic disorder that produces many affects and body systems. This disorder is characterized principally by obesity and renal failure. It is also known as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. This means that both parents passed on the genetic trait in order for their child to get the disease. This can affect both males and also females.
Another disorder is called the Prader-Willi syndrome. The Prader-Willi Syndrome is a genetic disorder due to the loss of function of specific genes. It is also a complex genetic condition that affects many parts of the body. This disorder is a deletion of a gene that has 15 chromosomes. And this is inherited from the father. This disorder is characterized by eating pass your limit and always thinking about food. Prader-Willis syndrome can affect both males and also …show more content…
Alstrom syndrome is a rare recessive genetic disorder that affects many parts of the human body. The signs and symptoms of this condition begins in early childhood and sometimes it can appear later on as a person gets older. This is characterized by hearing, loss of vision and also heart disease that can weaken a person’s heart muscles. This can affect both males and females. Many genes have been identified that can cause a person to have the risk of becoming obese. Genes can regulate how much a person’s body burns calories and also how sugar and fat breaks down by the body. Also genes may regulate how much food an individual need to absorb in order to feel if that person ate enough.
Genes can contribute to a person’s risk of becoming obese. The thrifty genotype hypothesis is an explanation for the rise of obesity rates. This hypothesis is to explain why different populations and also subpopulations are prone to diabetes. Also this hypothesis is based on the theory that genetic makeup of humans helped the old generation to survive of food defect. Many groups, such as the Pima Indians and the Pacific Islanders have been considered for having this gene because of the past of famine in these different
