Obesity Health...
Health risk of being Obese
There are many medical conditions that are associated with obesity. Individuals who are obese are at risk of developing one or more of these serious medical conditions, causing poor health and/or early death. The most common obesity-related diseases include:
Diabetes II,
Heart disease,
Stroke,
High Blood Pressure,
High cholesterol,
Gallbladder disease,
Osteoarthritis,
Sleep apnea and respiratory problems,
Some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon).
Diabetes
Diabetes is a life-long disease marked by high levels of sugar in the blood. It can be caused by too little insulin (a hormone produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar), resistance to insulin, or both.
Among those diagnosed with type 2 (non insulin-dependent) diabetes, 67 percent have a BMI greater than 27 and 46 percent have a BMI greater than 30. Nearly 17 million people in the U.S. have type 2 diabetes, accounting for more than 90 percent of diabetes cases. An additional 20 million have impaired glucose tolerance, sometimes called pre-diabetes, which is a strong risk factor for developing diabetes later in life. An estimated 70 percent of diabetes risk in the U.S. can be attributed to excess weight. Gastric Bypass Surgery eliminate Diabetes type II almost immediately.
High Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Hypertension (high blood pressure) is when your blood pressure frequently goes over 140/90 mm Hg.
About 1 in every 5 adults in the U.S. has high blood pressure. High blood pressure occurs more often in men than in women. In addition, African Americans are affected almost twice as much as Caucasians. The prevalence of hypertension in overweight U.S. adults is 22.1 percent for men with a BMI greater than 25 and less than 27; 27.0 percent for men with a BMI greater than 27 and less than 30; 27.7 percent for women with a BMI greater than 25 and less than 27; and 32.7 percent for women with a BMI greater than 27 and less than 30.
