Obesity is a multifactorial disease.  Many constituents participate in its beginning and development. They are genetic components, metabolic, behavioral factors and even viral infections, among others, Ad-36 human adenovirus infection. Independent of the factors which contribute to developing obesity, it is the consequence of positive energy balance. Constant energy balance of the body results from the balance between energy ‘received’ and energy expended.
