The Impact of Obesity on Adult Well-being

This research aims to find out how obesity affects the well-being of adults aged 18 to 35. It discusses the impact of obesity on physical, mental, and social health, as well as the economic and social implications of the condition. The study also explores the major factors that contribute to obesity and provides recommendations for managing and reducing it.

Chapter one: Introduction
1.1: Introduction
Obesity is defined as an excess of body fat. However, the obesity concept means more than body
fat deposition is associated with short and long-term adverse metabolic complication, as with
significant physical and psychological problems that must be all included in the same concept.
(Luis and all 2011)

The broad use of the term obesity is sometimes equated with BMI levels; this is calculated as
weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Perfect BMI is 18.5to 24.9kg.
According to Nice the BMI are divided into different categories which are cited as follow:
• ABMI of 25-29.9kg is overweight.
• ABMI of 30-34.9kg is obese (Grade 1).
• ABMI of 35-39.9kg is obese ( Grade2)
• ABMI of 40kg is obese (Grade 3) at this stage weight can jeopardize Health and cause
serious health issue.
But in some cases there are few exception if the person is muscular, he or she will have
excessive weight in muscles and bone to support the muscles it may be possible for him
to have High BMI without an excess of fat. ( www.patient.co.uk).
There is not an exact figure of obesity because this can change within a year and month.
However, in 2008 more than 1.4billion adults and older were over were overweight. In addition
over 200 million men and nearly 300 million women were diagnosed with obesity. The
researchers 35% of adults age 20 years and were find overweight in 2008, 11 were obese.
Statistic has shown that 65% of the world population lived in counties were overweight and
obese.

1.2: Background
Why you have chosen this topic? How and who would be beneficial for from the findings?
I have chosen this topic because, majority of people around the world are suffering from the
disease, including UK. This epidemiology are become crucial health problem for our nation,
especially in this twenty-century. This become a common problem, the research find that around
one in every four adults and one in every five children aged 10 to 11 in the UK are affected.
However it assume that UK are the highest compared to Europe. Almost 20% of the population
are obese and the cost to the UK economy exceed 3 billion per year (Nuffieldtrust.org.uk , 2015),
Which put pressure on the government and Primary care.
Simons Stevens state that Obesity is the new smoking, “It is a slow-motion car crash in terms of
avoidable illness and rising health care costs (Nuffieldtrust.org.uk , 2015)”
In addition it’s the availability of unhealthy options that is part of the problem. "Our
environments are stuffed full of opportunities for eating. You go into a bookstore and they're
selling chocolate."
People are finding difficult to stick with the official health recommendations, only few seem to
cope with it, eating healthy is a choice that people need to make in order to remain healthy.
According Daily mail (14.10. 1pm) Obesity costs £2.6billion a year in NHS bills and indirect
losses to the economy. Other studies have shown that the percentage of overweight children in
Britain has virtually doubled in the last decade. Yet in 2007/2006 this has cost NHS 5, 1 billion
this include medication obesity medication, the increasing use of bariatric surgery and new
equipment to accommodate larger people. This is more than the £3.3 billion attributed to

The Impact of Object Among Adults 4
smoking-related ill health and £3.3 billion attributed to alcohol-related ill health.

It is well known that being overweight or obese put people at risk of other diseases such as high
risk of heart Diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure and osteoarthritis. However it is a trigger of
several types of cancer.
Conducting this research will help family and children because, first Education start at home,
Parents needs to emphasis on their kids dietary intake in order to evade the diseases.
It will also raise awareness to overweight people in terms of losing weight. Nonetheless people
should eat to death but we should eat to remain healthy.
1.3: Research Aim
The aim of this study is to find out how obesity effect on well-being among adults
1.4: Research Objectives
To find out the impact of obesity among adults (age 18 to 35)
To find out how does obesity become a key barriers against the well-being?

The Impact of Object Among Adults 5
To make recommendation to reduce and manage obesity
1.5: Research Question
How does obesity has an impact on well-being among adults?
Chapter Two: Literature Review
2.1: Introduction
This research will talk more about obesity and overweight , which will overlook how this affect
human being and contribute to other illness , because this condition is the cause of an excessive
preventable ill health and premature mortality . However this is common in developed countries
it has been label among other diseases which reached epidemic proportion.
It is well known that this condition is weight gain reached the point of seriously threatening
health. Whereas some people are genetically more vulnerable than others, generally the
common cause of these diseases is an excess of energy intake over energy expenditure.
Moreover this has taken a lot of life around the world and especially in Europe where food
consumption are low-cost compared to other continent like Africa whereby some people suffer
of malnutrition and cannot afford to buy food.
2.2: The impact of obesity
Obesity and overweight can cause problem in social care and a string in economy
The studies shown that being obese or overweight enhance the risk of developing various serious
diseases, Such as heart disease, cancers and diabetic .The impact of obesity has a long-term
condition which can be tackled early in order to prevent it.

The Impact of Object Among Adults 6
In addition obesity can affect young people and Adult mentally ,Physically and Socially, also
can lead to several diseases cited as : Coronary Heart disease, high blood pressure , strokes ,
fertility problems , fatty liver disease( http:www.aihw.gov.au.)
Obesity can lessen life expectancy by up to 9 years because these conditions lead them to
numerous diseases. However those disease cited above can be prevented through healthy diet,
this condition put heaviness on joints and limbs which can make daily activities difficult.
Psychologically people with obesity can tend to suffer problems like depression, poor of life,
poor self-esteem, and body dissatisfaction.
It has been reported that obesity can cause issue in Social life this condition, those who suffer
from this condition are more likely to undergo prejudice and discrimination , the can find it
difficult to make friend and less luckily to pursue their dream and vision ,and to fulfil education.
www.morelife.co.uk.
It has commonly been assumed that they are many factors that contributed to obesity but in this
case I will focus on 3majors factors which are classified as follow: metabolic factors, diet, and
physical activity each biased by genetic traits.
Metabolic factor : an combination of metabolic traits occurring in the same individual with
frequencies greater than expected by chance ,and presumably reflecting a unifying underlying
pathophysiology . Traits that cluster include elevated glucose, triglyceride and blood pressure
levels, and cholesterol levels. Clustering most commonly occurs in the setting of obesity as well
as sedentary lifestyle. It is well known that type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease share

The Impact of Object Among Adults 7
many risk factors in common, and that their occurrence is probably linked to insulin resistance
and obesity ( Hansen and Bray, 2010).
It believed that metabolic factor as predictors of weight gain and obesity.
HU( 2008) carried the research which were focused on metabolic rate fat oxidation reflected by
respiration quotient and insulin sensitive , it confirm that low resting metabolic rate can trigger
weight gain It support the popular idea that metabolically efficient individuals are prone to
obesity in an energy abundant environment.
Diet : It never be easy for obese people to control their diet , we have to bear in mind that the
more we eat food which are high in macronutrient amount ( carbohydrate, protein ,and fat) we
are likely to gain weight .
One possible implication of this is that obese people tend to enjoy food instead of paying
attention on calories intake. As the put on weight gradually then after a period this weight gain
lead to obesity with high BMI. Moreover obesity is caused when our diet exceed in calorie intake
which can be the problem around the world. Although the calorie intake can be the trigger but
our diet quality also contribute to jeopardize our health and cause this problem.
Recent cases reported by Gillman and Poston.( 2012 ) also support the hypothesis that the effect
of popular diets designed to promote weight loss remain controversial , they stated clearly that
there is no magic diet or nutrient that offers weight control , dietary fat has long been
considered the main culprit behind obesity. But it can be argue that curbing carbohydrate intake
and decreasing glycemic food possibly will improve weight control.

Physical activity is major driving force behind losing weight, physical activity has impact on
weight gaining less levels of physical activity predict higher body weight
In addition walking minimize the chance of gaining weight and people who walk less are likely
to gain weight, it has been prove that low level of exercising rise more risk of early death.
(George .2007) stated that children and adults who watch more television are more overweight.
About 100 calories of extra food energy are consumed for each hour of television viewing.
It believe that physical activity play a vital role on reducing weight , for the best result we need
to decrease our caloric intake by 250 and increase daily exercise.
Obesity
For the past century malnutrition was a major problem around the world in same arena lack of
food was common and people were extremely thin because of malnutrition there were exposed to
different diseases one those diseases are Tuberculosis.
Also where I come from in Africa being overweight was a symbol of being rich, people tend to
enjoy their overweight shapes rather thinking about disease and other health Issue this can
possibly cause.

The Impact of Object Among Adults 9
This is the main reason of untimely death among adult and children, people aimed to fill their
stomach with a lot of calories intake, cooking with a lot of oil they preferred to fry food than
grilled.
In the contrary in Western Europe Being overweight or obese represent poverty and health
professional consider it as a disease which they have trait in order to prevent other disease.
But now a day population around the world are facing a major issue which the try to resolve , it
believe that this problem is the tool of early death , more diseases related to it, the early the
tackle it, the less risk it will possibly cause. This issue is called Obesity.
It widely holds the view that the UK has greater levels of obesity and overweight people than
anywhere in Europe except For Iceland and Malta, likewise this is causing drawn back on
health values.
It believes that, 67% of men and 57% of women are both overweight or obese, around a quarter
of children are considered as overweight or obese – 26% of boys and 29%of girls
www.the guardia.com.
In the other hand the health problem linked with adult obesity are well described and include
type 2 diabetes , Hypertension, and coronary artery disease ,sleep apnea,
pulmonary ,Hypertension, cancers ,and reproductive and musculoskeletal disorders (Hansen et
al. 2010).
The recent research shows that the percentage of United Kingdom's adults who are obese has
increased by 50% in the last decade, and the prevalence of obesity in children continues to

The Impact of Object Among Adults 10
increase at alarming rate , it estimate two-third of adults are now overweight or obese and, of
these ,22percent of men and 23 percent of women are clinically obese. (Cooksey, 2006)
Chapter 3: Methodology
3.1: Theoretical perspectives
3.2 Research Design
Quantitative method is used in this study, the Quantitative aspect attempted to demonstrate the
phenomenon hygiene behaviors amongst Male College students whilst the qualitative aspect
attempted to explain why the behavior exists-vis-à-vis recommendations College students
believe make understanding about obesity (Nocella et al, 2006).
Qualitative research gathers information that is not in numerical form. For example, open-ended
questionnaires, unstructured observations and diary accounts, unstructured interviews.
Qualitative data is usually narrative data and as such is tougher to analyze than quantitative data
which analyses information in numerical terms (Nelson’s Evans, 2014).
Qualitative research is helpful researchers at the individual level, finding out, in depth, the ways
in which people think or feel. Examinations of qualitative data are tough and insist on the exact
explanation of participant responses (Ajayi, 2014). However, it was not employed due to the
difficulty to conduct an interview. The quantitative method is employed by using a close-ended
questionnaire. Quantitative is a method that is well defined in a way that creates hard facts and
statistics to lead to a consistent statistical result (marketingdonut.co.uk, 2014).
3.3 Data Collection Method

The Impact of Object Among Adults 11
I was conducted my research using the Quantitative method, 10 questionnaires were used in
total, they were closed-ended. The participants were 10 students in a College in Central London.
The purpose of using questionnaires was to gather data on how Male students engaged in
effective infection control measures (hand hygiene) during or after using the toilet. In short, how
well informed they are on risks of infection.
3.4 Sampling
The clustered technique is a method of selecting a random sample amongst a larger number of
people. The process of meticulous sampling usually involves first selecting a fixed starting point
in the larger population and then finding subsequent observations by using a continuous interval
between samples taken (business dictionary, 2014).
I will be used a sampling technique called “clustered” sample technique where each participant
in the study was given an equal chance of being selected. I went to several classes, computer
suite and administered 15 questionnaires to Male students who were found there. The sampling
was completed without any problem (rgs.org, 2014). My sources of data were 5 male students
per week over a three week period.
The sampling technique is a shortcut method for investigating a whole population. Data is
gathered on a small part of the whole parent population or sampling frame, and used to inform
what the whole picture is like. The primary concern in statistical sampling. The sample obtained
from the population must be representative of the same population. This can be accomplished by
using randomized statistical sampling techniques or probability samplings like cluster sampling
and stratified sampling (rgs.org, 2014).
3.5 Data Presentation and analysis

The Impact of Object Among Adults 12
Data analysis is the processes of methodically applying techniques to describe and to provide
shorten data (Watson 2014). Data presentation, in short, refers to the main characteristics of the
data set explained in an easily understandable manner, relating to the data and indicators
published (eqavet.eu, 2014). Data were analyzed using a descriptive analysis through a clear
application of writing; analyzing and joining information from various sources by which I
explained step by step how data will be done or how they have been evaluated (Area education
agency, 2014). Data will be presented and analyzed through Line graphs, Percentages and
Charts, Bar charts, Pie Charts, Tables. Furthermore, the qualitative data was partly coded and
allocated percentages for easy analysis.
3.6 Limitations
Limitations play a role in letting only a precise quantity of something (Business dictionary,
2014). My limitations were the materials needed to achieve my research, things like ink, papers,
and printer. It was challenging for me to get enough questionnaires to go round.
As this was my first research project, having little knowledge on the matter, also affected the
quality of my work.
3.7 Overcoming limitations
I will fortunate to have a family member who bought me a printer, ink and papers, because of
this I was able to print out my work whenever I wanted. Since I have now knowledge on the
matter, this made things easier for me to continue with my research.

The Impact of Object Among Adults 13
I read various materials of past researchers to empower myself with more information, this
helped in succeeding with this study. I also received support from the College regarding
supervision whilst doing my research. This all helped me to overcome the limitation associated
with not knowing-how to conduct a research.
3.8 Reliability and Validity
The term Reliability in psychological research related to the consistency of a research study or
measuring test (Wu, 2014).
Validity is a significant part of deciding the suitability and applicability of a psychological test.
Validity also means genuine (psychology. About, 2014).
I used a technique called "a Pilot test" in the chosen setting, the questionnaires in the form of the
survey were piloted in different classes with each session lasting up to 5 minutes to complete. I
then gave away 10 questionnaires to Male College students, to test the suitability of the data
collection tool; the feedback of which came positive, I was satisfied to continue with the
questionnaires, I then re-arranged them into 12 questions total not 13 as seen on the ones used for
Pilot test. They were all reviewed by my lecturer. The actions taken by the researcher, is
believed, all contributed to the reliability and validity of the study.

3.10 Ethical Considerations

The Impact of Object Among Adults 15
Ethical considerations in research is a process or point of view for agreeing on how to perform
and for exploring complicated problems and issues ((Niehs.nih, 2014).
The processes undertaken in gaining the approval of my lecturer to conduct my study included
attaching an informed consent letter alongside the questionnaires, meaning that the person
participating in the assessment was fully informed about the evaluation being conducted.
Participants were aware of the purposefulness of the project, there was no funding involved, 10
participants were used for “a pilot test” (My peer, 2014).
The main purpose of informed consent letter was that the participant is informed in advance,
giving him/her choices to be able to make a decision as to whether he/she will participate in the
evaluation (My peer, 2014). It is imperative that ethical issues are considered during the
formulation of the evaluation plan. Ethical considerations during evaluation include:
Additional information should also be provided in the event that the participant becomes
distressed in any way during their participation. Confidentiality shall be maintained in line with
the Data protection Act (1998) (My peer, 2014). Finally approval to conduct this study was
given by my Lecture in a College in London.

Chapter Five: Discussion of the findings
Discussion takes into consideration explaining, clarifying what you have found from your
research task. Moreover, the discussion is to examine whether what you have learned fits, or
does not fit, with what you know about ecological theories and methods.
5.2: Discussion
This study founded from question 1
A study has found that some 40% of adult consider themselves overweight it is crucial for people
to pay attention to what they are eating, overweight and obesity are serious public health
epidemic which cannot be ignored, public health professionals should emphasize to the problem
and give a number of preventive strategies.
This study founded from question 2
The study founded that 90% of respondents wanted to get a good shape meaning that they want
to improve their diet like, because if people ingest the right food will help them keep fit, this will
help them to cope with stress and also fight illness. Although we cannot say categorically that
being in good shape ensures perfect health it is certain that in general physical fitness and health
are often discussed along parallel lines. The human body is designed to move and sedentary life
usually leads to diseases and even premature death. (Feito et all, 2013 )
In the other hand, people want to be in better shape because of what they have seen on TV and
newspaper presenting slim people as sexy and healthy.
This study founded from the question 3

The Impact of Object Among Adults 28
This study found that majority of participants were trying to eat healthily or watch their food in
order to improve their health because they are aware unhealthy eating and the diseases
associated with it. Health care delivery systems can play an important role in promoting physical
activity and healthy eating as well as treating overweight and obesity through a variety of
methods such as counselling, referral, research, and provision of incentives and benefits.
Prevention must be emphasized as the most effective and cost -effective approach to avoiding
the mortality and morbidity associated with obesity and sedentary lifestyle . Interventions need to
be implemented that encourage children, adolescents, and adults to develop lifelong habits that
lead to a healthy eating style.( Gregory, 2002) guidelines for comprehensive programs to
promote healthy eating.
This study found the question 4
The study believed that almost 67% of participant complain that stress holds them back for being
in good shape , although stress is a natural physical and mental to life events , this can cause the
problem to our health such as increased heart rate and high blood pressure damage arteries. This
may lead to heart attack, people undergo stress are likely to suffer type two diabetes because it
can cause the liver to release more glucose, it can also cause muscles tense up and lead to
headaches and backaches. In addition, health care professional to an emphasis on physical
activities to help people to stay in good shape , also counseling , advice and assistance to help
people to life a stress free life which will help them to enhance their health. Yet government
needs to help people to have facilities to the gym in order to prevent other diseases.
This study found from the question 5

The Impact of Object Among Adults 29
This study found that 25% of respondent believe that their family members are overweight,
generally speaking, children who have grandparents or parents overweight are more likely to
have the same problem.
Our behavior serves as comparative models that children look to in shaping their decisions, to
have our children engage in healthy behavior begins with parental behavior. When children
engage in physical activity with their parents, watch their parents work out or prepare a healthy
meal, they are quietly observing and storing this healthy behavior for future use ( Levick, 2000).
Why is my child so overweight?
Public and health and professional needs to help to inform parents the benefit of healthy eating in
order to evade their children being overweight later in life.
This research found from the question 6
This study found the 50% widely held of the respondents said that the buy meal from school, the
college offered a wide range of foods choices, food choices make a difference on our health, and
student needs to know the number of calories and the portion they are consuming each day. Also
eating more snack leads people to become overweight. It is important to inform people about
healthy eating which will help them to minimize some disease related to overweight.
This research found the question 7

The Impact of Object Among Adults 30
This study has found that some participant often eats fast food , the excessive amounts of
sodium in fast food can cause and trigger blood pressure, also high blood pressure is a risk
factor for a heart problem and stroke . A participant found it difficult to stop eating fast food
which is likely high in saturated fat this can cause disease and lead to the clogging of the arteries.
Some do eat fast food without knowing the consequences this can cause to their health. In
addition, fast food can lead to overweight and obesity in long run. People need to be
knowledgeable about their food always read the food label before eating.
This study found from the question 8
This study has found that 60% of participant eat when they are not hungry, although eating
makes people feel better, it known that have a bit of snack can boost our mood, help us to
improve productivity. In addition, more calories will add up quickly, just as a a small portion
of snack add pounds of weight over the years
(Goodwin, 2002 ) stated that the cultural issues that make people eat when they're not hungry
are superimposed on a biology that does the same thing. We have evolved as human race that's
highly efficient with feeding. And what people lived in times when food was scarce much of
time and abundant only occasionally. The research has found out that more carbohydrates was
the cause of overweight but another cause lies in the common occurrence of people eating when
they are not hungry can lead to serious problem on their health. Professionals need to assist
participant who tend to change their habit of eating when not hungry and educate them on the
calories intake each day. There is wide range of services in NHS which help people to stay
healthy and reduce weight.

The Impact of Object Among Adults 31
This study found from question 9
This study has found out that most participant are busy doing something when eating, it is well
know that people consumed more when they are occupied. In addition, it better to eat when we
are free which help us to see the amount of food we are eating, eating absent-mindedly can be a
big factor in weight gain. This could be because we are not paying attention on the amount of
food we consuming. Eating while watching TV, reading article, using computer is not good
because there is tendency to just keep going until it's all gone. Therefore we needs to put small
portion in the plate when is finish you have to stop eating, in order to prevent some diseases
related on overweight.
This study found from question 10
The study has found out that 30% participant stated that college do not provide Gym facilities in
the premises the think college is stopping them for being physically active. College and GP have
to put more emphasis on Gym. Public health has boost people’s confidence to go to the gym,
because Physical activity can alter our health and decrease the risk of developing numerous
disease such as: cancer, and cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes. Also this can have instant
and long term benefit for health.

The Impact of Object Among Adults 32
This study found from question 11
This study has found that 40% of participant do not need exercise, public health have to inform
people on physical activity how this have tremendous impact on their health. It is crucial for
people to exercise even 15 minutes each day which can make an impact on their health.
Chapter six: conclusion and recommendations( mention in the UK as well how people
struggle to obesity)
It was realized in the study that poor eating habits has been the main cause of obesity and
overweight in the UK. Since obesity forms a serious health epidemic, health professionals are
expected to come up with the most suitable strategy for preventing the epidemic since majority
of people wish for good health and shape of the body. Although it cannot be concluded that
having a good body shape is a direct ticket to good health but the general body fitness directly
relates to good health.
It was also realized that most participants made attempts of healthy eating with an aim of
improving their health since most are aware of the dangers accompanied by poor eating habits.
Good eating habits and physical activities can be promoted by the health care systems together
with treatment provisions to obesity patients. This can be successfully achieved through
counseling and incentives provisions to the affected victims.
In addition, stress was too realized among an average percentage of participants to be a hold
back to good shape. Despite stress being a both natural and mental phenomenon, it might result
to very unhealthy complications such as increased heart rates hence damage to blood vessels.
Nevertheless, this mostly result to heart attacks and diabetes hence the greatest need for gym and
health counseling

The Impact of Object Among Adults 33
The research study also realized that family members of the respondents are too weighty hence
children of the affected participants too stand a high possibility of being weighty. It is thus
advisable for parents to show good example to children in relation to good healthy behavior
since children learn from them.
It was again found out that children, students and college goers should give keen attention on the
nature of food they consume during scholars as most of this food contain too much calories
leading to obesity development and bad body shape. This food too included fast foods containing
much sodium triggering high blood pressure hence development of stroke.
Nevertheless, majority of participants admitted to be eating while not hungry hence adding more
calories to our bodies over the years. This motivated the need of health professionals to conduct
health education activity making people aware of risks associated with poor eating culture just
like eating while not hungry.
It was found out again that majority of participants ate while occupied in an activity hence not
aware of the quantity of food they consume leading to consumption of extra food hence poor
body shape through gain of weight. Hence the need of serving limited food and stopping eating
when it finishes in order to avoid weight gain and related diseases. Lack of exercise and gym
facilities was also a major factor to majority of the participants mainly scholars hence people
should be educated on the importance of constant exercise.
In general, obesity has greatly resulted to numerous negative impacts in the UK as it forms one
of the most countries with obesity victims. These include a reduction of major part of the
population from engaging in economic and social activities such as work and sports competition

The Impact of Object Among Adults 34
as a result of unfitness. In addition, the UK government spends a lot of money on provision of
health services relating to obesity and related diseases at the expense of other activities.
Recommendations
It is eventually recommended that obesity and overweight is a major cause of stress, heart
related diseases, diabetes and finally deaths across the world. The major cause of this modern
