Question
Obesity, or being extremely overweight, is a dangerous problem that can lead to many health issues and a lower life expectancy. In 2013 the American Medical Association classified obesity as a disease. Before 2013, it was only considered a medical condition.
When a person is obese, blood pressure and cholesterol levels go up. This makes the body work harder, increasing that person’s risk of developing many different health issues. Obesity increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes—a disease that changes the way the body processes food. Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong condition that needs specialized medical treatment and management.
Obesity also increases the risk of heart disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, and certain types of cancers. In the U.S. obesity causes 111,909 to 365,000 deaths per year. In Europe that number reaches one million. The only region where obesity is not common is Sub-Saharan Africa.
