There are multiple classifications of obesity.

The first type of obesity


is depending on area of the fat deposition. The area of the fat deposition has
three forms of obesity.The first form of obesity is at peripheral of our body
which accumulation of excess fat occur at hips, buttocks and thighs.As most
women know, it is more difficult to shed fat from the pelvis, buttocks and thighs
than it is to trim down other areas of the body.The fat stored around the pelvis,
buttocks and thighs of women appears to act as reserve storage for the energy
demands of lactation. This would seem to be particularly true for habitually
undernourished females. The second form is at central of the body and the
accumulation of excess fat occur in the abdominal form.Central body fat
distribution is associated with increased long-term renal risk, as shown in
several recent studies. This increased risk is often attributed to associated
conditions, such as weight excess, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes.
The importance of central obesity is clear in populations (e.g. Asian) who tend
to have relatively low BMIs but high levels of abdominal fat, and are particularly
prone to non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension and coronary
heart disease.The third form is the combination of both peripheral and central.
This type of obesity always affect to all obese person. This is due to the
simultaneously addition of excess fat at abdominal part, hip and buttocks. The
abdominal area is considered the most dangerous area for the accumulation of
fat because it is closely located to the vital organs and their blood supply.

The second type of obesity is depending on size and number of fat cells.
For adult-type, obesity is occur because of the size of fat cells increased while
the number of cells is remained. This always happen mostly in middle-aged
people. Adults who gain or lose weight may do so through changes in the size
of the fat cells, also called adipocytes, that constitute fatty deposits in the
body.During infancy and adolescence, adipose tissue is growing by a
combination of increase in fat cell size (to a lesser extent) and (above all) the
number of these cells. In adults, fat cell number is constant over time in spite of
a large turnover (about 10% of the fat cells per year) when body weight is
stable. A decrease in body weight only changes fat cell size (becoming
smaller), whereas an increase in body weight causes elevation of both fat cell
size and number in adults. An important source of renewal of fat cells during
the entire life span is the bone marrow. This is most apparent in obesity when
∼20% of all fat cells are derived from the bone marrow. For the child-type, the
number of fat cells increased rapidly as we know that child is in their growth
state. Therefore, more fat cells will be produced and it is extremely difficult to
reduce the number of fat cells which are already made. But this doesn’t mean
that fat cells, or adipocytes, are stagnant. The size of individual fat cells is
remarkably variable, expanding and contracting with weight gain or weight loss.
And as with most cell types in the body, adipocytes die eventually.Fat, or
adipose tissue, is found in several places in your body. Generally, fat is found
underneath your skin (subcutaneous fat). There's also some on top of each of
your kidneys. In addition to fat tissue, some fat is stored in the liver, and an
even smaller amount in muscle.

The success and final outcome of this assignment required a lot of


guidance and assistance from many people and we are extremely fortunate
that we got this all along the completion of this assignment. Whatever we have

thank them. I respect and thank Madam Umminajah Salleh for giving us an
opportunity to do this assignment work and providing us all support and
guidance which make us complete our assignment on time. You mold our mind
to came up a good research study. We could not have imagined having a
better advisers and mentors who were continually and convincingly conveyed
a spirit of adventure in regard to research study. Without their persistent help
we could not formed this concept and pursue this assignment.

Besides our advisers, we would like to thank our fellow classmates for their
