Exploring Weight Loss Preferences Among Obese Males: An Age-Group Analysis

Abstract This study investigates preferences for weight loss attributes among obese individuals. The global rise in obesity, with over 1.9 billion adults classified as overweight and 650 million as obese, has prompted concerns about its health impacts. Developing countries face increased obesity risks due to factors such as unhealthy dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, limited healthcare access, and financial constraints. In India alone, more than 135 million individuals are affected by obesity, a condition characterized by excess body fat beyond normal requirements. Various weight loss attributes, including diets, physical activities, pills, and surgeries, are explored. The objectives of the recent study are to assess Body Mass Index (BMI) among different age groups of male obese individuals and to understand their preferences for weight loss attributes. Descriptive research methodology is adopted to analyze data from a sample of 80 participants. Findings reveal that adolescents primarily prefer dietary changes (95%), while adults and elders favor gym activities (35%). Pills are a lesser-preferred option across age groups. This study provides insights into age-related weight loss preferences among obese males. In conclusion, the global rise in obesity mandates concerted efforts to curtail its cascading health implications. The prevalence of obesity across age groups underscores the need for tailored interventions that account for diverse preferences and attributes. Addressing obesity entails fostering healthier dietary choices, promoting physical activity, and embracing comprehensive weight loss programs. Initiatives like the Reweight program offer promising avenues for combating this epidemic.
