Overview

Obesity is a global public health problem. Its prevalence is increasing in both developed and developing countries. According to WHO data (2020), 39% of the world's population over the age of 18 is overweight, 13% of whom are obese. The Framingham study showed that a 10% increase in body weight is associated with a 13% increase in the risk of coronary heart disease in men. In women, the risk of coronary heart disease increases by 3.1% per 1kg of weight gain. The aim of the present study was to analyze traditional and non-traditional clinical and metabolic risk factors in a population of overweight adults in two categories: overweight and obese.The results clearly show an increase in a large number of cardiovascular risk factors, notably dyslipidemia and low-grade inflammation.These results suggest that overweight and obesity are associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk factors such as dyslipidemia and diabetes.
