-Gout is a complicated form of arthritis, characterized by
sudden & severe attacks of joint pain. The affected joint
becomes tender, so that pressure on this joint is
unbearable
-Symptoms include intense joint paid, lingering discomfort,
& inflammation and redness,
Obesity Stats
- 58 Million Overweight; 40 Million Obese;
3 Million morbidly Obese
- Nearly 34 percent of adults in the U.S are
obese, more than double the percentage
30 years ago
-Hispanic and black children have higher
rates than non-Hispanic whites.
-In New Jersey, 20-24% of adults are
obese
Gout Stats
-more than 2 mil Americans are
associated w/ Gout
-More common in men than women
-Prevalence is nearly 840 out of 100,000
people
-Women face the attack of Gout postmenopause
-Nearly 18% people suffering with Gout
have this disease in their family history
-An obese person is 4 times more likely
to get gout than a non obese person
-Gout is caused by a build up of urate crystals around
your joints, formed by high uric acid levels in the blood. The
body cannot process buildups, thus causing sharp,
needle-like urate crystals in joints and surrounding tissues
-Risk factors for the disease are lifestyle choices, such as
alcohol use, untreated high blood pressure, certain
medicatons, family history, obesity, & age/gender
How are Obesity and Gout Linked?
-When a person is obese, it causes extra pressure
on joints, and there are chemical changes in the
body due to the excess fat changes
-These 2 factors increase Gout risk
-People with higher BMI have increased uric acid
levels, thus leading to buildup in the joints

RELATED?
1.5 million HEART ATTACKS occur in the
United States each year with 500,000 deaths.
About 33.3% of American men and
about 35.3% of American women
are OBESE.
Because of the high level of fat in a person with
obesity they are at a higher risk of heart attack.
The fat effects blood circulation and blood
pressure. They are more likely to develop
hypertension or high blood pressure. If left
untreated high blood pressure will cause the
heart to over work and will make the heart
muscle very weak. The blood vessels will
harden, raising the chances for a blood clot to
form, which in turn increases the risk for a heart
attack or stroke.
(n) - Blount's disease is a growth disorder of the shin bone in
which the lower leg turns inward, resembling a bowleg.
The causes of
Blount’s disease
is unknown
Symptoms
•One or both of the
lower legs turn inward.
•This is called "bowing.“
•It may look the same on
both legs
•Occurs just below the
knee
• The pain will rapidly
get worse
Obesity Statistics
When people are obese, the area
that is just below the knee
experiences constant abnormal
compression due to all the weight.
For children, this decreases the
ability to produce bone cells and
expand. However, the area outside
the knee expands normally and
causes the tibia to bend inwards
from the top down.
•Over 40 million
Americans are obese
•Over 58 million
Americans are
overweight
•Over 3 million
Americans are morbidly
obese
•Almost 25% obese
adults were obese in
their childhood.
•the percentage of
obese or overweight
children is at or above
30 percent in 30 states.

Although scientists have found no direct cause of why cancer forms from obesity. Though
some suggest that it depends on the location. For example the obesity raises estrogen
levels, which could be a reason for uterine cancer in women. Also obesity increases the
risk of gastro esophageal reflux disease (a known risk of esophageal cancer).

Psychological Disorders

Low Self-Esteem
Depression
Depression is identified as loss of interest,
passive mood, feelings of guilt, low energy, and
poor concentration. Depression can become
chronic and may in some instances lead to
suicide or tragic fatality. It affects more than
20 million people each year.
Low self-esteem leads to people feeling
extremely insecure, not confident, and they
cannot control their actions. It is often
cause by negligence, criticism, and body
image.
Obesity can be connected to psychological
disorders because the obese population lacks
confidence in themselves, thus triggering
their low self-esteem. Because of this low
self-esteem caused by their distorted
body image, people become extremely
upset with themselves and can often
enter the state of depression. This can also
come from social ridicule in the

Dementia is a loss of brain function that occurs with
certain diseases, Alzheimer's being the most common type
of Dementia.
As of 2009 medical costs of obesity are as
high as $147 billion. On average, persons
who are obese have medical costs that are
$1,429 more than persons of normal
weight.
Obesity is directly related to Alzheimer’s in causing more issues for
people who have this disease. Inflammation in the brain, caused by high
insulin levels, causes beta-amyloid protein to increase. These proteins
are in plaque that clogs the brain of people with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Insulin increases when one gains more weight. Therefore people who
are obese tend to have high insulin levels which causes these proteins to
clog the brain.
Symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are
short term memory loss, disorientation,
lack of motivation and difficulty
performing familiar tasks. Severe
symptoms can result in paranoia,
hallucinations, wandering, difficulty
swallowing and smiling, and inability
to communicate or recognize other
people.
