Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breathing difficulties during sleep, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive dietary calories, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few cases are caused solely by genes, endocrine disorders, medications or psychiatric illness. Evidence to support the view that some obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is limited; on average obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass.

An estimated 97 million adults in the United States are over weight or obese. That figure represents more than 50% of the American adult population. Of this group, 11 millions adults suffer from severe obesity. Obesity is an excess of total body fat, which results from caloric intake that exceeds energy usage.
