Complications For Obesity


Carrying a lot of weight has its own harmful effects in the long run. Where this excess fat is stored in your body is also equally important in determining your risk for developing complications.


People in whom the fat builds up mostly around the abdomen (apple-shaped obesity) are at greater risk of developing complications as compared to those in whom this fat accumulates around the hips (pear-shaped obesity).


Some of the potential complications of obesity include:


Type 2 diabetes


Lipid abnormalities - high cholesterol and triglycerides


High blood pressure


Stroke


Depression


Ischemic heart disease


Osteoarthritis (especially of the knees)


Infertility, irregular menses


Sleep apnea


Cancer, including cancer of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, breast, colon, rectum and prostate


Gallbladder disease


Fatty liver disease


Intertrigo - Soreness/irritation between two skin surfaces that are in contact such as under the breasts or between the thighs, etc.


Impaired quality of life


Sexual problems


Social isolation, embarrassment
