Obesity and Quality of Life in Young Women: Role of General and Central Adiposity

Obesity in young women is associated with marked reductions in HRQoL across both physical and mental domains. The decline was most pronounced in women with class II and III obesity and elevated WHtR and WHR, reflecting the combined effects of general and central adiposity. These findings emphasize the need for early, multidisciplinary interventions targeting abdominal fat reduction and psychosocial well-being to enhance overall quality of life.
