Is Obesity a Disease with Cardiovascular Impact?

🍔 Obesity is considered a multifactorial disease, and its prevalence in the population has now reached pandemic levels. It’s not just a size issue; it’s a pathology that causes many other diseases with a significant cardiovascular impact and reduces life expectancy. Overweight is defined as a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25, and obesity as a BMI greater than 30.

How do I know if my weight is healthy or if I’m overweight/obese? By using the following mathematical formula👉 weight divided by height squared (in meters). For example, a patient who weighs 90 kg and is 1.70 meters tall has a BMI of 31.1. This person is considered to be in the obesity range. Therefore, a BMI between 20 and 25 is considered normal, between 25 and 30 overweight, and over 30 obesity.

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

• Overweight and obesity reduce life expectancy.

• They cause hypertension.

• They cause diabetes (the main cause of type 2 diabetes worldwide).

• They cause increased cholesterol and fatty liver.

• They cause sleep apnea, which also leads to hypertension and arrhythmias.

• All of this leads to a higher risk of heart attacks and cardiovascular events💔.

It is important to consult your cardiologist for a clinical evaluation🩺 and to assess the appropriate treatment indication.
