Obesity and Thyroid

Obesity is one among the most important health risks of recent times. The prevalence of obesity has increased worldwide since the middle 1970’s. According to the national health and nutrition examination survey, obesity affected 32.2% of adults in 2003-2004 and reached a peak in subjects within the 5th decades. Obesity is related to a risk of type 2 disease, Dyslipidaemia, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality, and cancer. Hence, severe obesity is a very important reason for premature mortality among old adults.
