Obesity is not an obvious problem. There are many underlying causes of obesity and many ways to treat it. Some methods work for some and not for others.
Now researchers know why.
A recent study in the Journal of Public Health looked at a group of 4,000 obese adults, and researchers placed them into six distinct groups.
#Number 1: Healthy young women – these are women who were obese but generally had very few obesity-related complications, such as type 2 diabetes
#Number 2: Heavy drinkers – as above, but with higher alcohol consumption.
#Number 3: People in their fifties, sad and anxious – mostly women with poor mental health and unhappiness
#Number 4: Older, wealthy, healthy people – generally positive health characteristics, but drinking heavily, and suffering from high blood pressure
#Number 5: Older people, physically ill but happy – older people with more chronic diseases, such as osteoarthritis, but good mental health
#Number 6: People with poorer health – those who are most economically deprived and those who have had the greatest number of chronic diseases
This research is important because understanding the underlying causes of obesity can help a person combat it. This is a major step forward in obesity treatment, but more research is needed.
