Overweight and obesity may increase your risk for many health problems—especially if you carry extra fat around your waist. Reaching and staying at a healthy weight can help prevent these problems, stop them from getting worse, or even make them go away.
Obesity can cause many kinds of diseases, mainly including:
- Type 2 diabetes High blood pressure
- Heart disease Stroke
- Metabolic syndrome Fatty liver diseases
- Some cancers Breathing problems
- Osteoarthritis Gout
- Diseases of the gallbladder and pancreas
- Kidney disease Pregnancy problems
- Fertility problems Sexual function problems
- Mental health problems
Studies show that people with overweight or obesity are also likely to face weight-related bias at school and work, which may cause long-term harm to their quality of life. Losing excess weight has been found to improve body image and self-esteem and reduce symptoms of depression
