Abstract EN
Background.
Globally, obesity is becoming a public health problem in the general population.
Various determinants were reported by different scholars even though there are inconsistencies.
Different biomarkers of obesity were identified for the prediction of obesity.
Even though researchers speculate the factors, biomarkers, consequences, and prevention mechanisms, there is a lack of aggregate and purified data in the area of obesity.
Summary.
In this review, the epidemiology, predisposing factors, biomarkers, consequences, and prevention approaches of obesity were reviewed.
Key Messages.
The epidemiology of obesity increased in low-, middle-, and high-income countries.
Even if the factors vary across regions and socioeconomic levels, sociodemographic, behavioral, and genetic factors were prominent for the development of obesity.
There are a lot of biomarkers for obesity, of which microRNA, adipocytes, oxidative stress, blood cell profile, nutrients, and microbiota were promising biomarkers for determination of occurrence of obesity.
Since the consequences of obesity are vast and interrelated, multidimensional prevention strategy is mandatory in all nations.
