Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Obesity Medicine: Management of Obesity in Women's Health Care AB - The prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically in recent decades. Increased body habitus correlates with enhanced availability of low-cost, high-calorie foods. A mismatch in caloric intake and energy expenditure leads to excess body fat accumulation. There are, however, interindividual differences in susceptibility to obesity with exposure to the same obesogenic environment. It is likely that this variability in metabolism, energy storage, or neural hormonal components affecting behavior has genetic, epigenetic, or genomic components.
