Obesity is a chronic multisystem disease that is highly prevalent due to its adverse health implications and linked to a lower life expectancy. Body weight and central fat distribution parameters are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, mental disorders, and certain types of cancer, according to epidemiological data. Increased fat mass, however, does not fully account for an individual's risk of developing cardiometabolic and other obesity-related diseases. The mechanistic connection between obesity and poor health outcomes may be related to dysfunction of adipose tissue rather than excess fat accumulation. Certain individuals who are obese appear to be immune to the early onset of cardiometabolic disorders. However, adipose tissue malfunction and mostly visceral fat distribution can cause normal weight individuals to acquire common obesity illnesses.
