🌭Is obesity a disease or just a size issue👖?

🍔 Obesity is considered a multifactorial disease, and currently, its prevalence in the population has reached pandemic levels. To answer one of the questions in the heading, it's not just a size issue; it's a condition that leads to many other diseases and reduces life expectancy. Overweight is defined as a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25, and obesity is defined as a BMI greater than 30.

How do you calculate body mass index or BMI? It's calculated using the following mathematical formula👉 weight divided by height squared (in meters). For example, a patient weighing 90 kg and measuring 1.70 meters would have a BMI of 31.1. This person would be considered obese.

Why should obesity be treated? Here are 6 relevant points:

- Overweight and obesity reduce life expectancy.
- They lead to high blood pressure. 
- They cause diabetes (the leading cause of type 2 diabetes worldwide).
- They result in increased cholesterol and fatty liver.
- They cause sleep apnea, which also leads to hypertension and arrhythmias.
- All of these factors increase the risk of heart attacks and cardiovascular events💔.

It's important to consult with your cardiologist for a clinical evaluation🩺 and to assess the need for appropriate treatment.
