Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial medical condition characterized by excess body fat that significantly increases the risk of adverse health outcomes—even in individuals who do not have Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). While obesity is commonly associated with diabetes, many adults with obesity maintain normal glucose levels yet still experience substantial metabolic, cardiovascular, and mechanical health burdens.
Obesity is influenced by a combination of genetics, hormonal regulation, lifestyle factors, and environmental exposures. Left untreated, it can progress over time and lead to serious complications that impact quality of life, longevity, and overall health.
