Medical Conditions Related To Obesity

Obesity is not just a problem relating to beauty, but also relating to health. In the US, obesity is the cause of death of over 2 million adults. People with obesity may suffer from heart diseases, strokes, elevated blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Obesity can also lead to certain types of cancers.

Men with obesity are at more risk of dying from rectum, colon, or prostate cancers when compared to men without obesity. Women with obesity are at a risk of death due to breast, cervix, gallbladder, uterus, and ovarian cancers when compared to women without obesity.

There are many other diseases which are related to obesity. These include gallstones and gallbladder disease, liver diseases, a disease which is due to excess weight related to joints called osteoarthritis, gout a disease relating to joints, pulmonary problem and sleep apnea. Women, who are obese, end up with problems with their menstrual cycle, infertility and reproduction.

People with obesity also suffer from psychological and social problems. America is a kind of society where women are regarded as beautiful only if they are slim, and this makes the people with extra pounds on the body feel depressed.

The fact is that the obese people are not lazy or gluttons, but they are discriminated at schools, offices and social gatherings on this criterion. This makes the obese people feel rejected, depressed and shameful.

The medicos say that a person with 30 or more BMI can get rid of obesity with proper diet consisting of foods which are of low fat, and exercising on a regular basis.
