When someone is carrying the bulk of excessive weight, the extra fat weight can cause many health issues like diabetes, thyroid, PCOD-PCOS, high BP, etc.
WHO:- Overweight and obesity Is abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to an individual’s health.
Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer and while it was once an issue only in high-income countries, overweight and obesity have now dramatically risen in low- and middle-income countries. Such countries are now facing a “double burden” of disease, for while they continue to deal with the problems of infectious disease and under-nutrition, they are also experiencing a rapid upsurge in chronic disease risk factors such as obesity and overweight, particularly in urban settings.
