Answer 2

Obviously there are a lot of facts!
If you would like to know what can cause obesity, then they are things like the lack of sleep, eating even when your not hungry, stress, and fatigue. Obesity increases the risk of heart disease by 40%. It can strain bones and reduce the restistance to diseases and sicknesses. Obesity can result in many pulmonary disorders, sleep apnea, gout, gallstones, and diebetes. It also causes 300,000 deaths in the U.S each year. Obesity can be caused by thyroid problems, it doesn't mean they have a problem with food, some gain weight when they quit smoking, or they were fat their whole lives.

Well I have sources so I hope you can look there and find your answers. I hoped I helped enough!

Answer 3

my dearest friend was taking to hospital 2 days ago with a burst hernia, but because her BMI is over 60, they refused to operate as it could cause a heart attack, stroke, brain damage or death, they could not give her a local anesthetic as the hernia is too deep.
They classified her as clinically obese, so until she loses 6 stone, she will have to suffer the pain and always take strong painkillers, which will restrict her every day living.
I think thats so sad...

Effects on health
Obesity, especially central obesity (male-type or waist-predominant obesity), is an important risk factor for the "metabolic syndrome" ("syndrome X"), the clustering of a number of diseases and risk factors that heavily predispose for cardiovascular disease. These are diabetes mellitus type 2, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and triglyceride levels (combined hyperlipidemia). An inflammatory state is present, which — together with the above — has been implicated in the high prevalence of atherosclerosis (fatty lumps in the arterial wall), and a prothrombotic state may further worsen cardiovascular risk.

Apart from the metabolic syndrome, obesity is also correlated (in population studies) with a variety of other complications. For many of these complaints, it has not been clearly established to what extent they are caused directly by obesity itself, or have some other cause (such as limited exercise) that causes obesity as well. Most confidence in a direct cause is given to the mechanical complications in the following list:

Cardiovascular: congestive heart failure, enlarged heart and its associated arrhythmias and dizziness, cor pulmonale, varicose veins, and pulmonary embolism
Endocrine: polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), menstrual disorders, and infertility
Gastrointestinal: gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), fatty liver disease, cholelithiasis (gallstones), hernia, and colorectal cancer
Renal and genitourinary: urinary incontinence, glomerulopathy, hypogonadism (male), breast cancer (female), uterine cancer (female), stillbirth
Integument (skin and appendages): stretch marks, acanthosis nigricans, lymphedema, cellulitis, carbuncles, intertrigo
Musculoskeletal: hyperuricemia (which predisposes to gout), immobility, osteoarthritis, low back pain
Neurologic: stroke, meralgia paresthetica, headache, carpal tunnel syndrome, dementia[4]
Respiratory: dyspnea, obstructive sleep apnea, hypoventilation syndrome, Pickwickian syndrome, asthma
Psychological: Depression, low self esteem, body dysmorphic disorder, social stigmatization
While being severely obese has many health ramifications, those who are somewhat overweight face little increased mortality or morbidity. Some studies suggest that the somewhat "overweight" tend to live longer than those at their "ideal" weight. [4] This may in part be attributable to lower mortality rates in diseases where death is either caused or contributed to by significant weight loss due to the greater risk of being underweight experienced by those in the ideal category. Another factor which may confound mortality data is smoking, since obese individuals are less likely to smoke. Osteoporosis is known to occur less in slightly overweight people.
