Obesity leads to several complications such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, which turn up to be the leading causes of death in the United Arab Emirates. According to the Central Statistics Department of the Ministry of Health, the cases of mortality because of diabetes constitute 75 percent of the deaths among UAE nationals and 31 percent among non-nationals.


Obese children and adolescents also suffer psychological and social problems due to the way they

feel about themselves and how they interact with others. Obese children are more likely to have

low self-esteem resulting from their poor body image. They also suffer depression and psychological stress because they are often excluded from peer groups and discriminated against.
