Excess accumulation of body fat, normally 20 percent or more above the bodyweight of a person, is considered obesity. When they eat more calories than the body consumes, the extra calories are stored as fat. The major symptoms of obesity are large amounts of stored fat and excessive weight gain. The latest obesity recommendations use a formula called BMI (body mass index), which is the weight of the person multiplied by 703 and then divided by double the height in inches. The 25.9-29 BMI is considered overweight and the 30-plus BMI is considered obese. The World Health Organization refers to obesity as a worldwide epidemic, and the diseases that may arise as a result of obesity are increasingly prevalent. Excessive weight gain leads to many severe, potentially life-threatening health issues, such as hypertension, type II diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent diabetes), increased risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack, infertility, increased colon, prostate, endometrial, and probably breast cancer prevalence. Obesity may also cause many secondary disorders, including arthritis and other orthopedic issues such as lower back pain, heartburn hernias, elevated cholesterol levels of adult-onset asthma, gallstones, high blood pressure, menstrual irregularity. Recent studies have shown that the amount of fat in a person's diet may have a greater weight effect than the number of calories found therein. Carbohydrates such as cereals, bread, fruits, and vegetables and protein (fish, lean meat, turkey breast, skim milk) are converted to fuel almost once eaten. Most fat calories are stored in fat cells immediately and add to the weight and girth of the body as they expand and multiply. A sedentary lifestyle can aid in weight gain. Psychological factors, such as depression and low self-esteem, can also play a part in weight gain in some cases.

International Journal of Collaborative Research on Internal Medicine and Public health broadcasts peer-reviewed content covering a wide range of non-surgical clinical aspects which includes disease prognosis, pathological manifestations and medical counseling. The journal lays special emphasis on contributions that address the emerging challenges in the diagnosis and clinical investigation of complex, and important diseases in adults that necessitate a cross-specialization approach. IJCRIMPH has the goal to become the place where outstanding clinical studies can be published; furthermore, this purpose is intended to be synonymous with improving the quality of healthcare in internal medicine.
