There are several factors that create obesity. 1). There appear to be several sets of genes, some on different chomsomes, which influence a person's likelihood of becoming obese. IF there is a history of obesity in a particular family, each family member has a risk of becoming obese. 2). Another is overeating. As developing countries get stronger economies and their food supplies become stable, the rates of obesity increase dramatically and quickly. Over the last 20 years, rates of obesity in developing countries have tripled. In children from these countries, 10-25 percent are obese. In recent years, a hormone called Leptin has been identified as one of the factors that controls appetite, which may also play an impoetant role in obesity.
