What are the risks of obesity?
Obesity can lead to serious health complications regardless of your sex or age. The most common risks of obesity include:
Diabetes
One of the most common consequences of obesity is Type 2 diabetes. If you’re affected by Type 2 diabetes, it means that your pancreas doesn’t correctly use insulin to regulate blood sugar levels.
Heart disease
Heart disease is also a pervasive risk of obesity, including blood clot formation, strokes, heart attacks, or angina — chest pain related to reduced blood flow to the heart.
High blood pressure
High blood pressure refers to when your blood travels through your body too quickly, damaging your artery walls.
