Obesity is a health condition involving excess body fat that can affect hormones, metabolism, inflammation, and long-term disease risk. It is often measured with BMI, but BMI does not show the full picture of metabolic health.
A BMI of 30 or higher is classified as obese. A BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight. However, BMI does not account for muscle mass or body composition, so blood tests and waist measurements can provide deeper insight.
Obesity can raise the risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea, joint problems, and some cancers. It can also affect hunger hormones, energy levels, and inflammation.
Obesity develops when energy intake is higher than energy use over time, but the causes are complex. Genetics, sleep, stress, medications, food environment, physical activity, hormones, and insulin resistance can all contribute.
Both genetics and lifestyle can contribute to obesity. Genes can affect appetite, fat storage, and calorie burning, while food choices, activity, sleep, stress, and environment also play major roles.
Common symptoms can include shortness of breath with activity, excessive sweating, snoring or sleep apnea, joint pain, fatigue, mobility problems, skin irritation in folds, increased hunger, mood changes, and irregular periods in women.
Yes. Some people have few physical symptoms at first. Metabolic changes such as insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormone shifts can develop before noticeable symptoms appear.
Doctors often use BMI, waist measurement, health history, physical exam, and lab results. A BMI of 30 or higher indicates obesity, but blood tests can help show whether obesity-related metabolic changes are present.
Yes. Blood tests can reveal metabolic changes that often accompany obesity before serious disease develops. Tests may include glucose, A1C, insulin, lipids, liver enzymes, adiponectin, leptin, proinsulin, SHBG, omega-6/omega-3 ratio, and TMAO.
Useful tests may include fasting glucose, A1C, insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, liver enzymes, adiponectin, leptin, proinsulin, sex hormone binding globulin, omega-6/omega-3 ratio, and TMAO. A healthcare professional can help decide what fits your situation.
Adiponectin is a hormone made by fat tissue that helps regulate metabolism and reduce inflammation. Levels often drop as body fat increases, and low adiponectin is linked to insulin resistance and higher diabetes risk.
Leptin is a hormone that helps signal fullness and energy storage to the brain. In obesity, leptin levels may be high, but the brain may respond less strongly, a pattern often called leptin resistance.
Obesity can increase the risk of sleep apnea because extra tissue around the airway can make breathing during sleep more difficult. Loud snoring, gasping, morning headaches, or daytime sleepiness are worth discussing with a clinician.
Untreated metabolic problems can raise the risk of diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, kidney disease, sleep apnea complications, joint damage, and worsening fatigue. Early testing and treatment planning can help reduce risk.
Some markers, such as blood sugar, triglycerides, blood pressure, and insulin sensitivity, may improve within weeks to months of consistent changes. Testing every 3 to 6 months may help track progress during a weight management plan.
