Obesity related to Endocrinology and Diabetes
Obesity is closely tied to endocrine disorders marked by hormonal imbalances or resistance. Weight loss typically restores hormonal balance, implicating obesity as a primary cause. Endocrine and metabolic syndromes contribute significantly to global morbidity and mortality. The current obesity epidemic heightens the risk of early death due to diabetes, cardiovascular issues, and increased cancer prevalence. Overweight individuals face elevated odds of developing Type 2 Diabetes, wherein the body produces sufficient insulin but cells resist its beneficial effects. Approximately 90% of Type 2 Diabetes cases are associated with overweight or obesity, as excess weight hinders insulin's effective blood sugar control.
