OBESITY AND AGING - A REVIEW

Abstract

The main aim of this study was to know the recent studies on obesity and aging. The incidence of obesity has been growing progressively over the last several decades. Obesity is a severe health problem and a very huge number of people have the complication of obesity. The complication of obesity arises when a person regularly eats more calories than they burn. The risk of obesity occurs in individuals who consistently eat more calories than burn., lack of tolerance, genetics, and other medications that slow down burning calories, elevated appetite, or water retention. Obesity affects the complete functional capacity of the body. A person has excess body fat in this condition. Aging is the process of becoming older. Agerelated change in some researchers had postulated that obesity as a condition of metabolic dysfunction of aging. socio-economic conditions play a crucial role in obesity. Data on agerelated changes in obesity has led some researchers to postulate that obesity might be considered a condition that resembles premature metabolic dysfunction. aging is associated with increased abnormality white tissue deposition. a key Reactive oxygen species inactivates phosphatases and is also responsible for redox changes that change the structure and function of the proteins. The changes lead to the effect of Reactive oxygen species on a wide range of cellular events such as proliferation, activation of the antioxidant gene, and response to DNA damage. The review article deals with the relationship between obesity and aging and its related complications.
