Problem statement
Obesity has been more prevalent in both children and adults over the last few decades, and it is now a primary risk factor for many illnesses and deaths in both developing and developed countries (Chooi et al., 2019). Due to excessive fat storage in the liver, skeletal muscle, and abdominal cavity, obesity has also been linked to many metabolic disorders, resulting in insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia (Blüher, 2019). Obesity is also linked to a higher risk of death from various causes. A person with a BMI of 30kg/m2 has a 50% higher mortality risk than someone with a healthy BMI. At a BMI of 35 percent, the danger increases (Blüher, 2019). The prevalence of morbid obesity is 4.7 percent in the United States (Chooi et al., 2019). Obese people have a variety of options for achieving the healthy lifestyle they seek.
