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.

How they are created is not The American Cancer Society (2008) necessarily known. reports that about 14 to 20 percent of cancer deaths in the U.S. can be attributed to excess weight or obesity problems. 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).

Coronary artery disease or (CHD) is a narrowing of the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. When damage occurs, the body starts to heal, fatty tissues are released which causes plaque to build up where the arteries are damaged CAUSES Smoking High blood pressure High cholesterol Diabetes PREVALENCE According to the American Heart Association, coronary artery disease is the single leading cause of death in America More than 12 million people alive today have a history of heart attack or angina pectoris (chest pain) SYMPTOMS Plaque can narrow or completely block coronary arteries, reducing the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart. -Other symptoms include shortness of breath and fatigue with activity BY CARRIE PORT -Chest pain is the most common symptom -May feel like someone is squeezing your heart RISK FACTORS High (LDL) & (HDL) Diabetes Smoking High blood pressure Obesity Physical inactivity Poor diet Obese people have a 105% higher risk for CAD/ heart failure Obesity heightens the amount of cholesterol in the blood, causing the artery walls to accumulate plaque and thus leading to CAD Obese people are also at higher risks for all of the risk factors that exaggerate CAD symptoms Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) results when the body doesn't’t receive enough oxygen during sleep and does not eliminate carbon dioxide during sleep.

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.
