Abstract

Obesity has become a global epidemic, intricately linked with metabolic dysfunction and posing significant health risks. This article presents a comprehensive investigation into the complex dynamics of obesity and metabolic disorders, focusing on adipose tissue as an active endocrine organ and its role in chronic inflammation and insulin resistance. Through a thorough literature review and analysis of epidemiological data, this study explores the socioeconomic, lifestyle, and environmental factors influencing obesity prevalence and its associated complications. Case studies from countries with successful intervention programs, expert interviews, and a comparative analysis of strategies implemented worldwide provide valuable insights into effective approaches for addressing obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Drawing on these findings, evidence-based recommendations are proposed for healthcare systems, policymakers, and public health practitioners to combat the multifaceted challenges posed by obesity and promote population health.
