ABSTRACT
Obesity is a worldwide issue that many global health authorities consider a growing epidemic. Having a positive correlation between increases in the industrialization of processed foods and sedentary occupations as well as a lack of access to healthcare in poorer socioeconomic areas, obesity is a multifactorial disease affecting several organ systems. The tendency for obesity to cause detrimental changes to the human body is a focal point for healthcare providers to establish more effective clinical treatment and management plans. Implementing comprehensive global educational programs to decrease the prevalence of this unforgiving disease is imperative for a healthier future. Herein, we have provided a comprehensive review of the health effects of obesity upon the human body for the interest of many practicing clinicians managing this health crisis.
