Research Question
What are the causes and effects of genetic inheritance in obesity? This research questions comes from a broad and fundamental tool in the history of research. There are numerous theories that have been drawn in relation to the sources and causes of obesity in early childhood and in adulthood (Sizer & Whitney, 2006). Different research practitioners from various institutions and academic background have related the causes of obesity with inheritance and issued varying conclusions and recommendations. This research question is related to the numerous health related issue that scholars indicates in their research findings and conclusions as diverse and complex. The conclusion of various research shows that obesity results from environmental and genetic factors just like many other common diseases.
Introduction
The percentage of the population worldwide that suffer from obesity as a result of genetically related factors are numerous and widely acknowledged. This percentage ratio ranges from 40% to approximately 70% depending with the area of research and time of conducting the research. This essay therefore analysis the different formations of obesity, the causes and in particular the significance of inheritance in the occurrence of obesity. The frequency of the obese patients in different heath facilities has increased due to the aspect of genetic inheritance (Wadden & Stunkard, 2012). Research indicates that the availability of different genetically modified foods in majority of the Westernized countries has been a pillar in the occurrence of obesity in most people. According to the research conducted by (WHO) World Health Organization, obesity has increased tremendously over the past decades in the developed countries because of a number of factors. Different research practitioners from various institutions and academic background have related the causes of obesity with inheritance and issued varying conclusions and recommendations (Farooqi, 2005). The conclusion of various research shows that obesity results from environmental and genetic factors just like many other common diseases. These categories of diseases affect the health and physical ability of patients in diverse and adverse aspects. Clarification on the results of occurrence of obesity should be critically analyzed to facilitate a firm foundation in the medication and diagnosis procedures of the health practitioners to their patients.
The importance of the analysis of obesity and its relation to genetic inheritance gives clarity in the field. In addition, the conduction of the research gives different baselines of research and the conclusions drawn by the different research practitioners on the topic. The views of different scholars on an individual topic give room for diverse research and understanding to the learners. Clarity in the different causes of obesity and realization of the adverse effects of different genetically modified food on the heath of people is attained in this essay (Farooqi & O’Rahilly, 2006). This shows that people are aware of the different sources of diseases and the ways and means of eradicating and limiting the disease occurrences. This essay therefore analysis the different formations of obesity, the causes and in particular the significance of inheritance in the occurrence of obesity. The frequency of the obese patients in different heath facilities has increased due to the aspect of genetic inheritance. There are numerous theories that have been drawn in relation to the sources and causes of obesity in early childhood and in adulthood.
Literature Review
Research indicates that there are different factors related to obesity and genetic inheritance. From the conclusion drawn by different research practitioners, the transfer of genes from parents to their children is a common feature. On the other hand, the transfer of diseases from parents to their children consists of similar and significant aspects. However, research indicates that there are other causes of obesity. Provision of genetically modified foods in the local markets leads to health hazards if the consumers fail to limit their eating habits. The genetically modified food results in increased cholesterol levels and imbalanced physical appearances. The realization of overweight parents can have similar effects on their children. However, there are cases where people become overweight resulting from eating disorder (Wadden & Stunkard, 2012).
According to research, obesity results from behavior and occurrence of genetic inheritance. The risk of obtaining obesity increases with the availability of obesity related genes. This demonstrates that the higher the obesity genes the higher the chances of obtaining obesity. The percentage increase in the level of obesity can currently be termed as epidemic. The rise in the number of patients suffering from the obesity epidemic has increased rapidly and a significant realization and facilitation of a solution. Obesity causes diverse results and implications to the patients, relatives and government because of the high cost of medication and care. These categories of diseases affect the health and physical ability of patients in diverse and adverse aspects. Obesity has increased tremendously over the past decades in the developed countries because of a number of factors. Research indicates that the increased level of occurrence of obesity in children has notably increased. There are various diseases related to obesity. Liver, alcoholic associated, pediatric occurrence and type 2 Diabetes are some of the diseases affiliated with children obesity. According to the research conducted by the scholars from World Health Organization (WHO), the availability of obesity in childhood can result to an adverse result like heart related diseases. This shows that the children suffering from obesity have high chances of getting heart diseases and related diseases.
To facilitate an understating on the rising levels of obese patients in the recent decades, an analysis of the original causes should be closely monitored. A broad analysis on the epidemic should be given diverse and somber thoughts. The research conducted by various health institutions and research practitioners give variations in the causes of obesity and provision of proper remedies (Speakman, 2004). Provision of genetically modified foods in the local markets leads to health hazards if the consumers fail to limit their eating habits. The genetically modified food results in increased cholesterol levels and imbalanced physical appearances. The realization of overweight parents can have similar effects on their children. The rise in the number of patients suffering from the obesity epidemic has increased rapidly and a significant realization and facilitation of a solution. Obesity causes diverse results and implications to the patients, relatives and government because of the high cost of medication and care. Childhood obesity and attainment of adolescent obesity depends on the availability of inherited genes from parents. The availability of obesity from both parents results in high probability levels of similar occurrences to their children. Polygenic results in the availability of inherited multiple and numerous genes with the facilitation of changing and preferable environmental condition. According to Speakman, the causes of obesity are usually linked to the polygenic occurrences. However, there are other cases that are usually associated with the occurrence of monogenic factors and aspects (Speakman, 2004, p. 2093S).
The alarming rise in levels of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been increasing rapidly in the 21st century. Consequently, there are different people in the society who experience increased glucose in their bloodstream but have symptoms that are below the diabetes level. The World Health Organization has conducted detailed research analysis on the differences between the two aspects and the availability of individual remedies. Research concludes that the increase in the levels of T2D in the past decades results from the increased levels of the population. According to Bell, Walley and Froguel, the high levels of diabetes in the third world countries affect people between the ages of 45 to 64 years (Bell, Walley & Froguel, 2005, p. 221). On the other hand, the high levels of diabetes fall above the age of 65 years. The results of these statistics illustrate the diversity and differences between the population structures of developing countries and developed countries.
Research on occurrence of obesity with accordance to gender shows minimal disparities. The rise in the number of patients suffering from the obesity epidemic has increased rapidly and a significant realization and facilitation of a solution. Obesity causes diverse results and implications to the patients, relatives and government because of the high cost of medication and care. Obesity causes diverse results and implications to the patients, relatives and government because of the high cost of medication and care. Childhood obesity and attainment of adolescent obesity depends on the availability of inherited genes from parents. To facilitate an understating on the rising levels of obese patients in the recent decades, an analysis of the original causes should be closely monitored. A broad analysis on the epidemic should be given diverse and somber thoughts.
The role of genetic inheritance in diabetes has been arguably discussed by different individual and international research practitioners and health institutions. However, there are various loopholes and areas of concern that needs to be addressed and researched on in the facilitation of detailed and relevant diagnosis solutions. Improved efficiency in the facilitation of proper medical facilities and services is the key role of health practitioners. Consequently, the concerned personnel, research practitioners, health institutions and World Health Organization should provide basic learning and educative grounds to govern on the occurrence of the epidemic and ensure effectiveness in its medication (Goran & Sothern, 2005). Similarly, the advantages and disadvantages of advanced predictive analysis and testing should be maximized and minimized respectively to facilitate sequential and advanced results.
Conclusion
The research on obesity shows the possibilities of future rise in its occurrence. Consequently, detailed and advanced research on the possibilities of reducing the concurrencies of obesity and provision of remedies and predictive research methods should be implemented and enhanced. Advanced prevention of disease prevalence will automatically act as a remedy in the establishment of controlled and adoptable heath care. Obesity causes diverse results and implications to the patients, relatives and government because of the high cost of medication and care (Loos & Bouchard, 2008). Childhood obesity and attainment of adolescent obesity depends on the availability of inherited genes from parents. To facilitate an understating on the rising levels of obese patients in the recent decades, an analysis of the original causes should be closely monitored. The World Health Organization has conducted detailed research analysis on the differences between the two aspects and the availability of individual remedies (Whitaker & Dietz, 2008). Research concludes that the increase in the levels of T2D in the past decades results from the increased levels of the population. The genetically modified food results in increased cholesterol levels and imbalanced physical appearances. The realization of overweight parents can have similar effects on their children. The rise in the number of patients suffering from the obesity epidemic has increased rapidly and a significant realization and facilitation of a solution.
Strategic solutions and ways of limiting the occurrence and spread of obesity should be established in attaining adequate and preferable health. The frequency of the obese patients in different heath facilities has increased due to the aspect of genetic inheritance. Research indicates that the availability of different genetically modified foods in majority of the Westernized countries has been a pillar in the occurrence of obesity in most people. The conclusion of various research shows that obesity results from environmental and genetic factors just like many other common diseases. These categories of diseases affect the health and physical ability of patients in diverse and adverse aspects. From the above results, we can conclude that various epidemic diseases result from negligence and ignorance. The high levels of diabetes fall above the age of 65 years in developed countries. On the other hand, the ratio of diabetes falls between 45 years to 64 years age bracket (Barsh, Farooqi & O’Rahilly, 2010). The results of these statistics illustrate the diversity and differences between the population structures of developing countries and developed countries. The conclusion of various research shows that obesity results from environmental and genetic factors just like many other common diseases. The percentage of the population worldwide that suffer from obesity as a result of genetically related factors are numerous and widely acknowledged. In addition, improved efficiency in the facilitation of proper medical facilities and services is the key role of health practitioners.
