Managing Adiposity-Related Diseases
Key Points
Key Points
- Among the many conditions caused or worsened by excess adipose tissue (AT), the most prevalent are:
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
- Elevated blood sugar
- High blood pressure
- Dyslipidemia
- Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)
- Cancer
- Obesity and stress: cause and effect
- Psychiatric disease
- These conditions are also largely improved, even prevented, by weight loss.
- It is therefore recommended that weight loss be an integral part of management whenever excess AT accompanies any of these conditions.
