Urban lifestyles are closely linked to obesity as a result of sedentary lifestyles, excess calorie consumption, and increases in stress. The abundance of fast food, processed food, and sugar-sweetened beverages leads to excess caloric intake and poor nutrition. Limited physical activity, longer working hours, and stressors of city life contribute to weight gain, resulting in higher risks of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Integrated solutions to urban lifestyle obesity involve nutrition education, promoting physical activity, stress management, and urban planning that supports healthy living. Understanding the factors of urban lifestyle and obesity is essential to reduce the prevalence of obesity in urban populations.
