"Research over the past few years has determined that morbid obesity occurs when a person has a combination of two distinct factors. First, the individual has a genetic predisposition to obesity. This simple means, there DNA is already coded for excessive weight gain. Secondly, the individual has a lifestyle that makes obesity more probable. That is to say, instead of living a healthy active life, the person may have a lifestyle that is more sedentary and full of unhealthy eating habits."
