Obesity and Metabolic Diseases: How to Learn More

Obesity is a very common health issue. While fluctuating your weight is totally normal, gaining a significant amount of weight can lead to health issues. Obesity puts you at an increased risk of developing multiple health conditions, most of which can be avoided by managing your weight. If you are obese and worried about your overall health, there are options available for you. Keep reading to learn more about obesity and metabolic diseases and how an Obesity Clinical Trial can help give you some answers.

Health Condition Risks Increased by Obesity

People whose weight is higher than what is considered healthy for their height are described as overweight or obese. Overweight and obesity are common among U.S. adults ages 20 and older. According to estimates based on data from the 2017–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES):

• Nearly 1 in 3 adults (30.7%) are overweight
• More than 2 in 5 adults (42.4%) have obesity, including about 1 in 11 adults (9.2%) with severe obesity
• Nearly 3 in 4 adults (73.1%) have overweight or obesity

Some of the health conditions you are at an increased risk of developing while overweight include:

• Type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Metabolic syndrome
• Fatty liver diseases
• Some cancers
• Breathing problems
• Osteoarthritis
• Gout
• Diseases of the gallbladder and pancreas
• Kidney disease
• Pregnancy problems
• Fertility problems
• Sexual function problems
• Mental health problems

What to Do About Your Obesity

If you are overweight or obese, it can be a struggle every day to figure out how to manage it. Many people have spent a lifetime battling this issue.

It can be overwhelming to think about all the weight you may want to lose—or, for health reasons, need to lose—so it is important to start with small goals. Losing any amount of weight is healthy, so focus on your small wins and remember that weight loss for your health is sometimes a marathon, not a sprint.

Your health care professional may recommend you lose weight if you have any of the following

• Obesity, or a BMI of 30 or higher
• A large waist size
• Heart disease or a family history of heart disease
• Overweight, or a BMI of 25 to 29.9, plus one or more factors that raise your chance of getting heart disease, such as diabetes, prediabetes, high blood pressure, high levels of LDL cholesterol, low levels of HDL cholesterol, or high levels of triglycerides
