Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by excess body fat and is associated with increased risks of diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, and certain cancers.
Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, contributing to elevated blood sugar levels and increasing the risk of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Prediabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels are elevated but not high enough to meet the criteria for diabetes. Early lifestyle interventions may reduce the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion.
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and heart failure. Lifestyle modifications and medications may help control blood pressure.
Abnormal blood lipids can increase the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Cholesterol management often includes dietary changes, physical activity, and medications when indicated.
Fat accumulation in the liver may lead to inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver failure. Fatty liver disease is commonly associated with obesity and insulin resistance.
Maintaining cardiovascular health involves managing blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, weight, physical activity, sleep, stress, and avoiding tobacco use.
