That would be a layman’s version of it. There must be several elements or features involved with obesity. By itself, obesity conjures up being overweight to an extreme.

NewguestDoes it just mean that it triggers obesity?More or less, yes. It causes certain features of obesity to come about, to show up.
"triggers" focuses more on causing things to start. "induce" suggests a continuing influence.
