Many different factors come into play when looking at the risks of adult obesity and having a BMI of over thirty. The Ecological Model can help us understand where these different factors fit in within a person's life. Whether it is a financial situation, genetic disorder, belief, or a poor lifestyle choice, every aspect to the increasing risk of obesity matters. We can separate each factor into five different categories of the Ecological Model: intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, community, and public policy. Each of the five parts of the model are important and all may play a major role in the risk of adult obesity.
