Answer to Question 1
Obesity is a major risk factor for many chronic degenerative diseases because being obese can predispose a person to life-threatening conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Obesity is becoming a health crisis of epidemic proportions both nationally and globally. As such, the dramatic shift from undernutrition to overnutrition or unbalanced nutrition that often occurs as a society transitions to a more industrialized economy-referred to as the nutrition transition-is strongly related to many of the chronic degenerative diseases facing humankind today.
