Obesity-associated morbidity

Common card · No. 475492

Obesity is a risk factor for many chronic physical and mental illnesses. Health risks for those who are overweight may be decreasing because of improvements in medical care. Some obesity-associated medical conditions may be the result of stress caused by medical discrimination against people who are obese, rather than the direct effects of obesity, and some may be exacerbated by the relatively poor healthcare received by people who are obese.
