Abstract:
Global obesity rates are rising, which is seriously compromising people's general health. Actually, a number of pathological illnesses have been linked to obesity, which has increased the general mortality. Specifically, being overweight or obese is well established to increase the chance of developing a number of Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, including functional GI disorders, GI malignancy, pancreatitis, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). A major contributing factor to obesity is the gastrointestinal tract. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of disease and other health problems. A loss of energy balance between food (energy) intake and energy expenditure results in excess adiposity. The brain-gut axis primarily controls energy intake. The pathophysiology of the GI system plays a major role in controlling food intake and the consequent development of obesity. Based on the most recent data available in the literature, our work aims to provide an overview of the possible roles of obesity in GI diseases with a special emphasis on tenable biological explanations that may underlie the link between obesity and GI diseases.
Audience Take Away Notes
- This research study will help researchers to provide the details about impact of obesity on gastrointestinal disease. This research idea can be used by other research scholars, faculty or scientists to elaborate about the obesity consequences in gastrointestinal diseases; as we know the pathophysiology of GI system plays a major role in controlling food intake and the consequent development of obesity.
