High mortality rate associated with obesity primarily due to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and possibly some type of cancer.
- Cardiovascular: In addition to increasing the burden on the heart, obesity can also be responsible in cases of sudden death because of cardiac arrhythmias, and increased risk of atherosclerosis-related increased levels of fat in the blood is low-density cholesterol liupoprotein.
- Diabetes mellitus: Diabetes mellitus type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) on the principle of never present in those with a BMI less than 22kg/m2. They found an increased risk of diabetes in obese people depend on family factors. A research shows that if one or both parents have diabetes, nearly 100% of children with this disease if obesity; longer if both parents do not have the above risk only 20% only.
- Cancer: Incidence of endometrial cancer and breast cancer in postmenopausal women, the rate of prostate cancer in men and the rate of colon cancer - rectum in both men and women that have related to the degree of obesity. It is thought that the reason obese women likely to develop endometrial cancer and breast cancer is due to increased production of the hormone estrogen in the adipose tissue.
Gallstone disease: gallstone disease increased in obese people (and increases with age) is probably related to the increase in the excretion of bile cholesterol. Cholesterol synthesis by the body each day increased about 20 mg per kg of fat tissue will increase the production and secretion of a cholesterol equivalent of one egg yolk and that is why formation of cholesterol gallstones in obese people.
- Disorders of lung function: Obesity moderate lung disease and no less affect respiratory function. However, severe sleep apnea can occur with severe obesity and this is a serious problem that must be set. It is believed that obstructive sleep apnea is caused by excessive accumulation of fat in the bronchial air. Waves with obstructive apnea occurs continuously during sleep will lead to events decreased blood oxygen and increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood, which can be fatal.
- Endocrine Disorders: Significant levels of testosterone in the blood decreased in obese men and have real impact on sexual activity. What about obese women often experience early, irregular menstruation without ovulation and early menopause. Obese women whose fat mass concentrated in the internal organs, producing more male hormone (testosterone), while the concentration of fat in the buttocks and thighs, producing more of the female hormone (estrogen)
