Obesity
Obesity is a complex disease involving an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity isn't just a cosmetic concern. It is a medical problem that increases your risk of other diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers. Obesity can lead to reduced quality of life, employment disparities, lower productivity and social disadvantages. For example, osteoarthritis—a common consequence of obesity—is one of the leading causes of disability and early retirement.
According to the 2014 Canadian Community Health Survey, over 5 million adults in Canada have obesity. Furthermore, according to the 2015 Canadian Health Measures Survey, 30% or more than one in three adults in Canada has obesity and may require medical support to manage their disease.
