OBESITY

Obesity can cause various diseases like diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, arthritis, cancer, heart disease and other lifestyle diseases.

 A few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications, or mental illness. 

On average, obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass
