Signs to watch out for.

The damnable consequences of obesity.

  1.Obesity is a major public health problem, characterized by a specific pattern of occurrence and a rapid increase in the relative prevalence of the number of overweight and obese people in the population. Obesity is a condition of excessive accumulation of fatty tissue in the body, leading to its pathological effects on health. As a criterion for the norm of body weight, the body mass index is used, defined as the ratio of weight to height squared in kilograms per square meter. It is important to understand that obesity is not just a cosmetic defect – it has a detrimental and diverse effect on the health of a person and all society. It is expressed by a damnable effect on almost all organs and systems: cardiovascular diseases. Excess adipose tissue, especially abdominal obesity, is the cause of developing ordinary cardiovascular diseases: coronary artery disease , myocardial infarction, and stroke. Obesogenesis includes the formation of arterial hypertension and "Dyslipidemia" – increased levels of total cholesterol due to high LDL cholesterol with a simultaneous decrease in HDL cholesterol, which contributes to the development of atherosclerosis, a major contributor to heart attacks and strokes.

  2.diabetes. Obesity is the most common risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Excess fat, and especially the visceral fat surrounding the organs in the abdominal cavity, leads to insulin resistance. This is a pathological condition where body cells lose the ability to respond to insulin. As a result, the level of sugar in the blood rises, and eventually, type 2 diabetes develops. At the same time, according to the WHO, people with a diseased weight are at least three times more likely to get type 2 diabetes .

  3.Respiratory disorders. Obesity is an extremely negative factor for the respiratory system. Excess weight is also harmful to the respiratory system. Fatty tissue burdens the diaphragm, which decreases respiratory function and can contribute to the development of obstructive sleep apnea. OSA is a serious disease characterized by the closure of the airways during sleep. This causes the person to stop breathing, and then a forceful inspiration is drawn in. Insomnia, daytime sleepiness, and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases are consequences. Moreover, obesity is a risk factor for unstable asthma and other respiratory diseases.

  4.Diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Due to the excessive burden on the musculoskeletal system, patients with obesity often suffer from joint injuries , especially the knees, hips, and lower back. The main problem in this aspect is osteoarthritis: due to the constant overload of the joints, wear occurs after which the bones begin to rub against each other. This causes excruciating pain, loss of mobility, and discomfort, significantly limiting the quality of life.
