Obesity-Related Diseases and Complications: What You Need To Know | Dr. M. Tapas | CARE Hospitals
Dr. Tapas Mishra, Consultant, Laparoscopic and Bariatric Surgeon, CARE Hospitals, Bhubaneswar, talks about how obesity increases the risk of several debilitating and deadly diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. It does this through a variety of pathways, some due to the mechanical stress of carrying extra pounds and some involving complex changes in hormones and metabolism. Obesity decreases the quality and length of life and increases individual, national, and global healthcare costs. The good news, though, is that weight loss can curtail some obesity-related risks.
