INTRODUCTION

Obesity is essentially a disorder of your metabolism and is caused by an imbalance

between energy intake and energy expenditure over a long period of time. In other words,
you are consuming more calories or energy than you are burning through exercise and daily
activities. Treatment of obesity therefore aims to restore this energy balance. Methods for
weight loss include reducing calorie intake, increasing physical activity and behavior therapy.
However, increasing levels of obesity and associated medical conditions has heightened
interest in both pharmacological in most cases you will treatments for weight loss. In most
cases you will be treated with a combination of therapies. The aim of the therapy is to try
restore your normal weight and reduce lo - morbidities without causing significant side
effects or morbidity in general, the greater the degree of weight loss achieved, the greater the
degree of weight loss achieved, the greater health of weight loss.

RESEARCH DESIGN

The study findings show that the family unit an individual grows up in influences
their consumption behaviour, which drives their obesity. The findings reveal that obese
Cabugao citizens are willing to live a healthier lifestyle due to the direct and indirect medical
costs associated with obesity. Furthermore, the findings disclose the social marketing
interventions – local celebrity endorsements, healthy lifestyle promotions, reduced gym
membership and affordable access to healthy foods and services – used to prevent and reduce
the rising obesity rates in the Zone 5 Cabugao society. Research limitations/implications The
findings have important theoretical implication given the focus on consumption behaviour
and obesity. Practical implications The study findings provide an avenue to guide
government officials, policymakers and social marketers in shaping their public policy and
social marketing interventions to encourage healthier consumption and lifestyle behaviours
among families and individuals in the Zone 5 Cabugao society. Originality/value To the best
of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first research study to investigate how family units in
the emerging market of Cabugao drive obesity and the social marketing interventions used to
reduce and prevent obesity. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

PROCEDURE OF THE INVESTIGATION

Obesity surgery remains the most effective treatment for obesity and its
complications. Weight loss was initially attributed to decreased energy absorption from the
gut but has been linked to reduce appetitive behavior and potentially increased energy
expenditure. In this review, we survey recent research investigating this mechanism, and seek
to provide insight on unanswered questions over how weight loss is achieved following
bariatric surgery which may eventually lead to safer, non-surgical weight loss interventions
or combinations of medications with surgery.

RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY

The aim of this study was to determine the need for nutrition intervention in a people
living in mental health residential houses in the Zone 5 Barangay Cabugao.
A nutrition assessment was conducted by the researcher using a questioner with
mental health residents and a survey on medical background . The prevalence of obesity was
significantly greater than that reported for the general population. Respondets also had a
significantly higher prevalence of abdominal obesity than the general population. The needs
assessment has shown that nutrition promotion is required in this groud the task ahead is to
motivate the groud to change their food and nutrition behavior, where many barriers to a
healthy lifestyle exist.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
 The focus of this is the impact of obesity and weight loss on quality of life a focus on
quality of life broadens the scope of treatment efficacy beyond weight loss and provides a
patient centered perspective the concept of quality of life is defined and both general and
obesity specific measures are reviewed. It is clear that obesity confers negative consequences
on both the physical and phycological aspects of quality of life. Especially among the
severely obese. The effects of weight loss appear to be favorable. Although few studies have
examined non - surgical interventions future studies would be enhanced by assessing a
variety of approaches to weight loss by using both general and obesity specific measures of
quality of life and conducting follow up studies to assess the effects of weight regain on
quality of life.

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

The research data was collected using a survey in Barangay Health Center in Cabugao
the researcher gathered the data and the completion of the respondets.

missing data in obesity trials with repeated measurements.

CHAPTER 4
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AS SUB- HEADS

Data were collected by student completed survey on weight perception, dieting history,
mental and physical health, health behaviors, social capital factors. Height and weight were
measured by researcher. High levels of current dieting for weight control and inaccurate
perception of body mass are common across all ethnic groups . However, dieting history and the
associations of obesity with psychological distress vary between ethnic groups. Inventions to
prevent or treat obesity.

Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may
impair health. Body mass index (BMI) is a simple index of weight for height that is commonly
used to classify overweight and obesity. It is defined as a person weight in kilogram divided by
the square of his height in meters.
