* [[Adiposity]] A term used to describe the accumulation of excess body fat.
* [[Adiposity]] A term used to describe the accumulation of excess body fat.
* [[Excess body fat]] The amount of fat stored in a person's body that exceeds what is considered healthy for their height and weight.

* [[Unhealthy weight gain]] The process of gaining weight in an unhealthy manner, such as through a diet high in processed foods and low in physical activity.
* [[Bariatric medicine]] Medical treatments for obesity, including medications and weight loss surgery.
* [[Obese]] A condition in which a person has a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, indicating an excessive amount of body fat.
* [[Morbid obesity]] A severe form of obesity characterized by a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher. It is associated with a number of serious health problems.
* [[Bariatric surgery]] A type of weight loss surgery that involves reducing the size of the stomach or rerouting the digestive system to limit the amount of food a person can consume.

* [[Weight loss]] The process of reducing body weight by burning more calories than are consumed through diet and physical activity.
* [[Binge eating disorder]] An eating disorder characterized by frequent episodes of binge eating, or consuming large amounts of food in a short period of time, often in response to emotions.
* [[Body Mass Index (BMI)]] A measure of a person's body fat based on their height and weight. It is widely used to classify a person as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
* [[Diet]] The foods and drinks a person consumes on a regular basis. A healthy diet is one that provides all the necessary nutrients for good health while controlling calorie intake.
* [[Diet]] The foods and drinks a person consumes on a regular basis. A healthy diet is one that provides all the necessary nutrients for good health while controlling calorie intake.

* [[Food addiction]] An unhealthy relationship with food characterized by compulsive overeating and an inability to control food intake.
* [[Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)]] A condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms. Obesity is a major risk factor for GERD.
* [[Genetic factors]] Inherited traits that can contribute to obesity, such as a family history of overweight or obesity.
* [[Heart disease]] A group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. Obesity is a major risk factor for heart disease.
* [[Heart disease]] A group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. Obesity is a major risk factor for heart disease.
