Symptoms

Although Obesity has no specific symptoms, it contributes to other major health problems.

An adult who is obese has an increased risk of complications from other diseases. These may include:

• High blood pressure
• Type 2 diabetes
• Gallbladder disease
• Some types of cancer
• High cholesterol
• Stroke
• Osteoarthritis
• Sleeping and breathing problems

While we often stereotype those who are obese, more than 60 percent of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While the number of overweight people has been slowly climbing since the 1980s, the number of obese adults has nearly doubled since then.
