Genetics play a significant role, affecting fat storage, appetite regulation, and metabolism. Family habits and environments also contribute, as children often adopt the dietary and activity patterns of their parents. Additionally, modern conveniences and marketing strategies promote overeating and discourage physical activity. Mayo Clinic+1NIDDK+1

Psychological factors such as stress and lack of sleep can disrupt hormones like cortisol and leptin, leading to increased hunger and cravings. Certain medications and health conditions, including depression and polycystic ovary syndrome, can also contribute to weight gain.CDC

Addressing obesity requires a multifaceted approach, including lifestyle changes, medical interventions, and supportive environments.
