Compares Hemodynamic Variables, Food Habits, And Obesity Grades Between Obese and Non-Obese Males

Abstract

Most nations' obesity rates have been on the rise since the 1980s, confirming the existence of a worldwide pandemic. Hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and sleep problems are incident cardiovascular risk factors that obesity directly contributes to. Even after controlling for other risk factors, obesity increases the likelihood of cardiovascular disease and its death. Waist circumference, rather than body mass index, is a more modern indicator of abdominal obesity as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Imaging techniques that assess visceral adiposity and other aspects of body composition have also come a long way. Research looking at the quantification of fat depots (including ectopic fat) lends credence to the idea that increased visceral adiposity is a standalone predictor of worse cardiovascular outcomes. Metabolic syndrome, along with its associated systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, may be ameliorated via changes in lifestyle and, subsequently, weight reduction. On the other hand, medicinal weight loss has not been shown in clinical studies to lower risks of coronary artery disease.
