Reduced physical activity and abundant energy intake are two most common factors leading to uncontrolled body weight gain. But these factors are not under entire internal consciousness control; they are also partially genetically determined and are affected by for example food marketing practices. In addition to these two widely accepted factors, there are some other factors, whose could also contribute to the recent increase of obesity prevalence. For example, non-exercise activity thermogenesis, sleeping habits, more stable inside room temperatures (using of heating and air conditioning), high prescription of medications with weight gain as side effect, psychosocial factors, unfavourable socioeconomic status and unpleasant urban environment are the background factors which should not be omitted if obesity/BMI determination should be fully understood and kept under control. In conclusion, unhealthy life style is necessary, but not sufficient for obesity development.
体力活动减少和能量摄入过多是导致体重失控增加的两个最常见因素。但这些因素并非完全受内在意识控制;它们部分也受到遗传因素的影响,并且受到例如食品营销实践的影响。除了这两个被广泛接受的因素外,还有一些其他因素也可能导致肥胖症患病率的最近上升。例如,非运动活动产热、睡眠习惯、更稳定的室内温度(使用暖气和空调)、因副作用而大量使用导致体重增加的药物、心理社会因素、不利的社会经济地位和不愉快的城市环境,这些都是肥胖/身体质量指数(BMI)确定因素,如果要全面理解和控制肥胖症,这些因素都不应被忽视。总之,不健康的生活方式是肥胖症发展的必要条件,但不是充分条件。
