About this series
Definition of Obesity and its Causes
Obesity is defined by the body mass index (BMI), a measure that relates an individual's weight to height. A BMI of 30 or more indicates obesity. However, obesity is not just a matter of aesthetics. It is associated with a number of serious health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, sleep apnea and various forms of cancer.
The causes of obesity are multifactorial and complex. They involve the interaction between genetic, environmental, behavioral and metabolic factors. The abundant availability of high-calorie foods rich in vitamins and sugars, along with a sedentary lifestyle, are the main factors that have created for the rise in obesity rates. Additionally, individual metabolic issues and hormonal imbalances can also play a role in predisposing to obesity.
Importance of Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Obesity
Nutrition plays a crucial role in both preventing and treating obesity. The relationship between food consumption and weight gain is direct, as excess calories consumed are stored as body fat. Therefore, taking a balanced approach to diet is essential.
A balanced diet consists of providing the body with the nutrients it needs for proper function, while controlling total caloric intake. This involves a proper mix of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, protein and vitamins, as well as taking in essential vitamins and minerals.
When considering obesity prevention and treatment, it is important to take a long-term approach. Extremely restrictive or drastic diets can result in temporary weight loss, but they are often unsustainable and can lead to the accordion effect. Instead, the focus should be on promoting healthy and sustainable lifestyle changes, including conscious food choices and regular physical activity.
In summary, obesity is a global challenge that affects the health and well-being of many people. Nutrition plays a key role in the prevention and treatment of obesity, and a balanced, long-term approach is needed to achieve lasting results. Throughout this ebook, we will explore in detail how nutrition can be a powerful ally in the journey to combat obesity and the search for a healthier lifestyle.

Childhood obesity is a growing public health problem involving excessive accumulation of body fat in children and adolescents. This condition is one of the most pressing concerns today, given its substantial impact on the health and well-being of younger generations. This chapter will discuss the definition and prevalence of childhood obesity, as well as highlight the importance of the topic in the context of public health. Definition and Prevalence of Childhood Obesity Childhood obesity is characterized by excess body weight that is associated with health risks. It is often assessed using the body mass index (BMI), which takes into account the relationship between weight and height. When the BMI of a child or adolescent is above the established limits for their age group, they are considered obese. However, it is worth mentioning that childhood obesity is not just an aesthetic problem, but a health issue that is closely linked to a number of medical conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal disorders. The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased dramatically in recent decades. It has become a global phenomenon, affecting both developed and developing countries. The transition from less healthy eating patterns, combined with a sedentary lifestyle and constant exposure to ultra-processed foods , contributed to the spread of this problem. Childhood obesity rates vary by region and population, but in many places, the numbers are alarming and indicate a public health crisis. Importance of the Topic and Its Relevance to Public Health Childhood obesity should not be underestimated as its implications go far beyond individual health concerns. It has a profound impact on communities, health systems and the broader economy. Obese children are at greater risk of becoming obese adults , increasing the chances of developing debilitating and costly chronic diseases. This puts a significant strain on healthcare systems, consuming valuable resources that could be allocated elsewhere. In addition, childhood obesity also influences social and emotional issues. Obese children often face discrimination, bullying and low self-esteem , which can hinder their psychosocial development. This can have lasting effects throughout life, affecting quality of life and productive participation in society. In light of these challenges, addressing childhood obesity has become a global priority. The need for effective preventive interventions, nutritional education programs, promotion of physical activity and changes in public policies is crucial to reverse this worrying trend. This book will explore these issues in detail, providing insights into the underlying causes, consequences , and multidisciplinary approaches that can be taken to tackle the childhood obesity epidemic comprehensively and effectively.
