Health Risks Linked to Obesity
 

Obesity is a term that means you have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. It makes you more likely to have conditions including:

 

    Heart disease and stroke
    High blood pressure
    Diabetes
    Some cancers
    Gallbladder disease and gallstones
    Osteoarthritis
    Gout
    Breathing problems, such as sleep apnea (when a person stops breathing for short episodes during sleep) and asthma

 

Not everyone who is obese has these problems. The risk rises if you have a family history of one of those conditions.
