Obesity Health Risks
In the UK alone, a quarter of adults are now considered obese, with a body mass index above 30. BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in metres and is useful for assessing the extent to which fatty tissue causes ill health.
A failure to act in an attempt to meet weight loss goals, especially over an extended period, can lead to a range serious health problems associated with obesity.
A study group of Oxford University experts has even gone as far as warning that being severely obese is as hazardous to health as a lifetime of smoking, shortening life by a decade.
Nobody is immune from the risk of becoming obese, and risking the many medical problems associated with carrying too much weight. Typical obesity related health problems are:
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Reduced life expectancy
- Coronary heart disease
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
- Colon and prostate cancer in men
- Uterine and gallbladder cancer in women
- Gallstones
- Osteoarthritis
- Abnormal blood lipids
- Strokes
- Sleep apnoea
- Gout
- Fertility problems

From nutritional support to counselling psychology, life coaching, drug therapy, and weight loss surgery GBS/AOS helps patients achieve and maintain a new size and happiness.
