- Backache & skeletal issues, including osteoarthritis due to excessive pressure on the body frame.
- Obesity can raise the risk of hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure which in turn impacts heart function.
- Obesity can produce unhealthy levels of bad cholesterol, which again impact the heart.
- Obesity can trigger gallstones.
- Varicose veins may be a high risk of obesity due to the excessive weight placed on the legs.
- Some types of cancer may also pose a higher risk for the obese individual.
- Diabetes can be triggered by obesity, which in turn produces other serious health risks associated with diabetes - from blindness to kidney disease.
- Skin irritations including fungal infections and chafing are also common in the obese individual.
