Obesity is a complex and multifactorial condition influenced by various genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors. Being overweight or obese can have a serious impact on health.
It does this through a variety of pathways, some as straightforward as the mechanical stress of carrying extra pounds and some involving complex changes in hormones and metabolism.
Carrying extra fat leads to serious health consequences such as cardiovascular disease (mainly heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders like osteoarthritis, and some cancers (endometrial, breast and colon). These conditions cause premature death and substantial disability. Obesity decreases the quality and length of life, and increases individual, national, and global healthcare costs.
Preventing and managing obesity typically involve lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet, increasing physical activity, and addressing underlying psychological factors.
Dr. Arush Sabarwal, a renowned bariatric surgeon, emphasizes the life-altering benefits of this surgical intervention. “Bariatric surgery is not just about weight loss; it positively influences various obesity-related health conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and reproductive issues,” says Dr. Sabarwal.
