There are several factors which lead either partially or totally to obesity: |
| Genetic factors: |

factors causing obesity especially as the genes affect the way of disposing of calories or affect the receptors of the feeling of fullness. |
| Morbid factors: |
| Some cases of illness contribute to exposure to obesity such as multiple ovarian cysts and hypothyroidism. |
| Environmental factors: |
| Your lifestyle and the quality of food you take along with the level of physical activity will affect your weight. |
| Psychological and physiological factors: |
| Eating food when feeling angry, sad, or depressed and adopting a lifestyle of eating too much food and lack of
movement will lead to a heavier weight. |
