Abstract
Obesity has become a serious public health concern worldwide, notably in Egypt, due to its rapid growth in prevalence and comorbidity it. The aim of this systematic review was to define and explain obesity, as well as to assess its prevalence and hazards in Egypt and throughout the world. In fact, numerous institutions and organisations have different definitions of obesity, thus it is a complex multifactorial disease. Over the past few years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has doubled worldwide among all ages and both sexes, regardless of geographic location, race, or socioeconomic status, although obesity is more prevalent in the elderly and women. Although food is the main factor in obesity, recently diet has been used as a way to prevent and treat obesity. Finally, more research is needed on diet as a means of preventing obesity in Egypt and its impact on health. Numerous association studies and data from controlled feeding research have led to the conclusion that obesity has become a serious public health concern across the world, notably in Egypt, due to its rapid rise in prevalence and comorbidity. The goal of this study was to define and explain obesity, as well as to estimate its prevalence and risks in Egypt and throughout the world. Indeed, several institutions and organisations have varied definitions of obesity, making it a complicated multifactorial condition. Over the last several years, the incidence of overweight and obesity has more than quadrupled globally, regardless of geographic location, race, or socioeconomic class, however obesity is more frequent among the elderly and women. Despite the fact that food is the primary cause of obesity, nutrition has lately been utilised to prevent and cure obesity. Finally, governments, civic society, the food industry, and the financial sector must work together to improve the healthiness of thepopulation’s diets. Furthermore, more research is needed on diet as a means of preventing obesity in Egypt and its impact on health.
