Experts Say Many Factors Contribute to Obesity
“When someone says of an obese person, ‘They should just eat less and exercise more,’ I say if it were that simple, obesity wouldn’t be the worldwide epidemic that it is,” says Claude Bouchard, PhD, a faculty fellow at the Texas A&M University Institute for Advanced Study (TIAS) and the director of the Human Genomics Lab at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Bouchard studies the genetics of obesity and says there are dozens of factors involved in determining whether a person becomes overweight or obese.
“It’s a complex problem because there are so many drivers,” says Bouchard, who also is author or coauthor of several books and more than 1,000 scientific papers and a former president of the International Association for the Study of Obesity. “Approaches focus on only a few and forget that while we control them, there’s compensation taking place elsewhere. There are other drivers that come into play.”
He divides those drivers into four categories: social, environmental, behavioral, and biological. Social factors include less access to nutritious foods, more recreational eating, powerful and constant advertising, large food portions, poor school meals, eating on the run, food pricing, and fewer meals cooked at home.
