throughout the report to explain the effects of the theory on the recovery phase or how it could help to prevent it from happening.
(Blackburn & Kanders, 1994) state that obesity is medically defined as excessive adipose tissue. The most commonly held theory of obesity is that it is caused by chronic positive energy balance, namely , the individual consumes more energy than is expended. Changes in weight can be understood in terms of the energy balance, it means that a person gains weight where there is an excess of energy and loses weight where there is a deficit of energy. These findings, taken together suggests that obesity may initially result from a variety of factors raging from chronic overheating and reductions in activity to alterations …show more content…
(Kazaks & Stern, 2013) says that obese women have reported that they avoided certain situations such as air travel because of anxiety over seating difficulties, and they felt embarrassed to take part in their children’s activities. Other obesity related mental health disorders include depression and low self- esteem.
Respiratory Disease
Obesity is a predictor of respiratory disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea and asthma. Breathing problems associated with obesity are thought to occur due to mechanical issues or increased inflammatory response.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is caused by a blockage of the airway, usually when the soft tissue in the rear of the throat collapses, and closes during sleep. This condition can lead to repeated interrupted breathing problems, during the sleep period.
Symptoms of OSA consists of excessive daytime sleepiness, problems with memory and concentration and increased risk of hypertension. Moreover OSA can be responsible for poor performance and vehicle accidents while driving. Most individual’s with apnea have BMI over 30 and moderate weight loss can significantly improve the
