MORBIDITY & MORTALITY
Labels Obesity
Obese patients are at risk of early death, mainly from diabetes, coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease.
The greater the obesity, the higher the morbidity and mortality rates.
For example, men who are 10% overweight have a 13% increased risk of death, while the increase in mortality for those 20% overweight is 25%. The rise is less in women,
and in men over 65 obesity is not an independent risk factor.
Weight reduction reduces this mortality and therefore should be strongly encouraged
