Introduction: One of the urgent tasks of modern healthcare is the development of measures aimed at preventing obesity in the able-bodied population, including in the Republic of Kazakhstan, which would reduce economic losses and increase the coefficient of life expectancy in the population. Aim: To identify measures for the early prevention of excess weight, obesity, and carbohydrate metabolism disorders in the able-bodied population at an industrial facility in Kazakhstan. Material and methods: The study involved 662 people (574 men and 88 women) aged 19 to 64 years. The subjects were divided into 2 groups: the main group - persons with obesity (242 people) and the control group - relatively healthy persons (422 people). The diagnosis of obesity was made based on the medical history of a patient, external examination, and physical, laboratory, and instrumental assessment. Results: Three main factors influencing the development of obesity have been identified: a significant level of inactivity; serum glucose; the presence of comorbidities. Other factors (gender and age, smoking) do not have a significant effect on the increase in the body mass index of persons working at an industrial facility. Conclusions: Accordingly, a priority in the prevention of obesity is a healthy lifestyle, involving regular physical activity and a healthy balanced diet.
