Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility. A few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications, or mental disorder.The view that obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is not medically supported.
