Clinical Report Proofs on the Discoveries about Obesity and Other Diseases
| DISEASES | QUOTES | CLINICAL REPORT |
|---|---|---|
| depression | Obese adults are more likely to have depression, anxiety and other mental health. | The State of Obesity 2016 [7] |
| anxiety | ||
| asthma | Being overweight or obese can put children at a higher risk for health problems such as heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, stroke, cancer, asthma and osteoarthritis - during childhood and as they age. | |
| heart disease | ||
| hypertension | ||
| liver disease | Up to 25 percent of adults have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NFLD), which can lead to liver damage (cirrhosis) or the need for transplants. | |
| hepatitis | In the present study, our results further suggested that obesity was significantly associated with non-response to hepatitis B vaccination. | Hepatitis B vaccine response in obesity: A meta-analysis [8] |
| gastric disease | It is well recognized that Helicobacter pylori infection, dietary habits, smoking, and obesity are risk factors for the development of gastric cancer. | A case report of chylous ascites after gastric bypass for morbid obesity [9] |
| lung disease | Forno et al showed that obese children had evidence of dysanapsis (a dissociation of lung airway growth with lung size) that may be contributing to lung disease in obese children. | Beyond BMI: Obesity and Lung Disease [10] |
| myocardial infarction | Epidemiological evidence suggests that overweight and obesity have been associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). | The incidence of acute myocardial infarction in relation to overweight and obesity: a meta-analysis [11] |
| respiratory disease | Obesity has a direct causal effect on some respiratory diseases, namely OSA and OHS. | Obesity, respiratory disease and pulmonary infections [12] |
| tuberculosis | Mounting data have revealed that body mass index (BMI) is inversely associated with risk of active tuberculosis. | Association of Obesity, Diabetes, and Risk of Tuberculosis: Two Population-Based Cohorts [13] |
