What Other Complications/diseases Does Obesity Lead To?

lookin good

Also, can anyone get me a good, reliable link on how obesity impacts your health? What other problems does it cause, eg. diabetes? And how does it cause these? Thanks for any help!

6 Responses to “What Other Complications/diseases Does Obesity Lead To?”

  • Excessive body weight has been shown to predispose to various diseases such as
    - cardiovascular disease,
    - diabetes mellitus type 2,
    - sleep apnea
    - osteoarthritis.
    - kidney stones
    - congestive heart failure,
    - enlarged heart and its associated arrhythmias and dizziness
    - varicose veins
    - pulmonary embolism
    - infertility
    - hernia,
    - colorectal cancer
    - gall stones
    - incontinence
    - cancer in general esp, breast, uterine and prostate
    - still births
    - gout
    - stroke
    - carpal tunnel syndrome
    - dementia
    - asthma
    - too many psychological defects to mention e.g. depression and body dysmorphic disorder
    ….. and this is only the short list!
    Obestity is linked to each in a different way. In general heart conditions occur due to the increased work load and pressure obesity causes. Joint problems occur due to an excess of weight. In artherosclorosis, the fat actually sets off the cascade for the thrombis formation and further ischemia and blockages that follow.
    You really need to be specific in this area as it is so large! Research into each disease will give you a better idea.
    The lesson here is obesity is a bad thing! It is correlated with such horrible diseases, why would you put yourself through it?

    clogs up the arteries, asthama, hyper tension, diabetes, heart failure also reduces the mobility of aperson because of the excess weight

  • Chris P says:

    Obesity, especially central obesity (male-type or waist-predominant obesity), is a risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol. An inflammatory state is present, which — together with the above — has been implicated in the high prevalence of atherosclerosis (fatty lumps in the arterial wall), and blood clots.
    Other related problems:
    Cardiovascular: heart attack, enlarged heart and its associated arrhythmias and dizziness, cor pulmonale, varicose veins, and pulmonary embolism
    Endocrine: polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), menstrual disorders, and infertility
    Gastrointestinal: gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), fatty liver disease, cholelithiasis (gallstones), hernia, and colorectal cancer
    Renal and genitourinary: urinary incontinence, glomerulopathy, hypogonadism (male), breast cancer (female), uterine cancer (female), stillbirth
    Integument (skin and appendages): stretch marks, acanthosis nigricans, lymphedema, cellulitis, carbuncles, intertrigo
    Musculoskeletal: hyperuricemia (which predisposes to gout), immobility, osteoarthritis, low back pain
    Neurologic: stroke, meralgia paresthetica, headache, carpal tunnel syndrome, dementia10. ^ [10]
    Respiratory: dyspnea, obstructive sleep apnea, hypoventilation syndrome, Pickwickian syndrome, asthma
    Psychological: Depression, low self esteem, body dysmorphic disorder, social stigmatization
    While being severely obese has many health ramifications, those who are somewhat overweight face little increased mortality or morbidity. Some studies suggest that the somewhat “overweight” tend to live longer than those at their “ideal” weight. [4] This may in part be attributable to lower mortality rates in diseases where death is either caused or contributed to by significant weight loss due to the greater risk of being underweight experienced by those in the ideal category. Another factor which may confound mortality data is smoking, since obese individuals are less likely to smoke. Osteoporosis is known to occur less in slightly overweight people.

  • DaBasset *do not feed trolls* says:

    There is no direct proof that obesity causes other diseases, except possibly strain on the joints etc. However, it is thought that obesity is often caused by the same things (lifestyle, diet) that contribute to other dieseases (diabetes, heart disease etc). Just because obesity is often found with another health problem does not mean that one “caused” the other. Correlation is not causation. It could just as easily be that the changes in the body related to early stage diabetes also cause a person to gain weight.
