THE PROBLEM OF OBESITY IN THE MODERN SOCIETY
The purpose of the study is to consider the theory of excess weight formation from the point of view of genetics, the mechanism of work, the problem of genetic determinism, the influence of social factors on the formation of excess body weight, the influence of diets, physical exertion on weight loss. There was a problem when considering social factors on the problem of obesity: the classical idea of these facts are incorrect, when taking into account genetic factors, it is difficult to identify the influence of social factors separately, the explanation for the increase in the number of obesity could not be found. Conclusion: the claim that physical activity helps to lose weight is false, because they 1) make up a small part of all the costs of the body: 10-30% without taking into account heavy work, 2) people tend to overestimate the calories lost while underestimating the consumed ones, 3) the Hadza tribe, who get food by hunting, spend no more calories than residents of the United States and Europe. Genetics plays an important role in explaining the formation of obesity, but relying on it does not explain the increasing number of people who are overweight.
