Abstract
Epidemija pretilosti koja je zahvatila svjetsku populaciju krajem 20. stoljeća potaknula je brojna istraživanja da bi se otkrio uzrok te epidemije. Iako su neki uzroci bili prilično jasni, poput povećanja energetskog unosa i smanjenja fizičke aktivnosti, s vremenom je otkriveno kako ulogu u nastanku epidemije pretilosti imaju i naizgled neutralni okolišni čimbenici, kao što su primjerice socioekonomski status i endokrini disruptori. Usto, istraživače je zanimao i mehanizam kojim okolišni čimbenici djeluju na nastanak pretilosti. Prema dosadašnjim saznanjima najbolje objašnjenje tog mehanizma nudi epigenetika. Također, početkom 21. stoljeća prepoznato je kako je pretilost rizični čimbenik za nastanak niza velikih javnozdravstvenih problema poput diabetes mellitus tip 2 te karcinoma. Stoga razumijevanje etiologije pretilosti važno je ne samo za zaustavljanje epidemije pretilosti već i niza drugih bolesti kojima pretilost pridonosi.
Abstract (english)
The obesity epidemic that hit the world population at the end of the 20th century has inspired numerous studies to search for the cause of this epidemic. Although some of the causes were quite clear, such as increased energy intake and decrease in physical activity, over time it was discovered that seemingly neutral environmental factors such as socioeconomic status and endocrine disruptors also have a role in the emergence of obesity epidemics. In addition, researchers were also interested in the mechanism by which environmental factors effect obesity. The best explanation for this were epigenetic mechanisms. Also, at the beginning of the 21st century, it was recognized that obesity is a risk factor for the emergence of a number of major public health problems such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cancer. Therefore understanding the etiology of obesity is important not only to stop the epidemic of obesity but also a number of other diseases that obesity contributes to.
