Obesity is becoming of interest as a non-communicable disease. There is however a dearth of information on obesity in this environment, as literature in developing countries is limited. Review of health risks of obesity is useful in order to increase the pool of available information in Nigeria and to draw attention to obesity and its attendant health risks.
肥胖作为一种非传染性疾病正日益受到关注。然而,在这种环境下,关于肥胖的信息却很匮乏,因为发展中国家的相关文献有限。回顾肥胖的健康风险,有助于增加尼日利亚的可用信息储备,并引起人们对肥胖及其相关健康风险的关注。
