lTime suggested: 50 minuteslQuestions 26 - 3l are based on thefollowing passage.I Obesity is the heavy accumulation of fat in your body and it occurs whenyour body consumes more calories than it burns. Statistics by World HealthOrganization (WHO) have indicated that obesity is the fifth leading risk for globaldeaths. At least 2.8 million adults die each year as a result of being overweight orobese. Psychologically, being overweight can affect your body image anddamage self-esteem. In some cases, this can cause social anxiety and depression.2 Obesity can occur at any age and there are many factors that cause thisphenomenon. The main cause of obesity is the unhealthy eating habits andunhealthy food choices that we make. Globally, there has been an increased intakeof energy-dense foods that are high in fat, salt and sugars but low in vitamins,minerals and other nutrients. Processed or fast foods that are high in fat and refinedcarbohydrates, laden with calories, are favoured over fruits, vegetables andunrefined carbohydrates, such as whole meal bread and brown rice. Modern diethabits that encourage consumption of junk and fatty foods have caused more fat tobe stored in the body, hence, causing obesity.3 A decrease in physical activity due to the increasingly inactive nature ofmany forms of chores is another contributing factor. With the arrival oftelevisions, computers, video games, remote controls, washing machines, dishwashers and other modern conveniences, the majority of people are leading amuch more sedentary lifestyle compared to their parents and grandparents. Manypeople have jobs that involve sittin g at a desk for most of the day, and rely heavilyon their cars to get around. When it is time to relax, people tend to watchtelevision, or play computer games, and rarely do any regular exercise. This lackof activity reduces metabolic reaction necessary to burn accumulated fat, and thiscauses the extra calories to be stored as fat instead, resulting in obesity.4 The modern day lifestyle and affluence have widened food options andchanged eating habits. Groceries and supermarkets stock their shelves with agreater selection of foods. Processed foods and soft drinks which are high incalories, from fat or sugar, are more accessible. It is also becoming a trend, asmore restaurants extend their business hours to late night or opened for 24 hours,thus, encouraging late night suppers. People may also be eating more during ameal or snack because of larger portion sizes. The increasing number ofrestaurants and food outlets may encourage people to eat too much especiallyduring outings with friends or relatives. All of these unhealthy eating practices

which have become a part of modern day lifestyle, have resulted in excessiveenergy intake.lll9l2 @ 2012 Hak Cipta MpSM Negeri Selangor

Emotional stress, anxiety, illnesses or 45chronic pain can lead to depression and overeating. Some people eat as a way tocomfort and calm themselves, to avoid dealing with unpleasant tasks or situations.Such traumatic incidents can contribute to overeating which is easy in our culfuretoday because of the availability of a variety of food.Obesity is a serious problem prevalent in our modern society and steps need 50to be taken to overcome this social problem.
