Diseases caused by obesity

Obesity can lead to many diseases. If the treatment of obesity-related diseases and obesity on their own without treatment, the treatment will not be very ideal, but the treatment cost is very high. The following are related to diseases related to obesity, weight loss is the treatment of these diseases.

High blood pressure

Obesity is the most common complications of hypertension. 15 kg more than the standard weight of 30% of people suffering from high blood pressure. Blood pressure and fat cells secrete a number of vasoactive substances, and also related to insulin resistance. Mild high blood pressure as weight loss and reduced salt intake and return to normal, do not have to step-down drug treatment. Last year, the diagnosis of high blood pressure has been reduced from 160/95mmHg to more than 140/90mmHg. Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease risk factors, if not treated in time will lead to serious consequences.

Diabetes

Closely related to obesity and diabetes, referred to here II diabetes is type 2 diabetes. The general view is that when obesity to a certain extent, the emergence of peripheral tissue (mainly muscle and fat) is not sensitive to insulin, or insulin resistance phenomenon. On the islet in compensatory insulin secretion more to combat the antagonist to insulin, the emergence of hyperinsulinemia. About a few years to decades after the work over the islet failure occurred, to develop into diabetes. Obesity to diabetes, of course, the process of an internal mechanism is not very clear (This is also the moderator of this in recent years, the main research topics of interest, I would envisage that if the conditions allow me to work in the field of research in this life), but if we can come to understand the depth to obesity The process of diabetes and will be able to find or slow down the process of blocking the way for diabetes prevention class I to help. Of course, diabetes, weight loss is the treatment of diabetes.

Cancer

Obese patients more vulnerable to cancer. Obese female patients suffering from breast cancer, uterine cancer and the risk of cervical cancer has increased by 3 times the risk of endometrial cancer risk by 7 times. Obese male patient suffering from colon cancer and prostate cancer risk also increased significantly.

Hyperlipidemia

Most of the obese patients lipid metabolism disorder, there hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and so on. Hypercholesterolemia, and genetic reasons, including the role of diet, in general, the treatment of weight loss can return to normal blood lipid.

Others

Obese patients with short life expectancy, from the general population, in addition to the standard weight for each 1 kg increase in weight, will shorten the average life span of a month. Obese patients vulnerable to heart disease and stroke, accidents, nearly 30% of obese patients suffering from gallstones, obesity patients are susceptible to degenerative bone and joint diseases, such as sleep apnea syndrome.

In the psychological, obese people tend to feel fatigue, anxiety and depression often feel.

In short obesity is a disease, and is a serious disease, the need for long-term weight loss treatment in order to avoid these diseases.
