Yes, obesity is a medical condition, not just excess weight. When body fat increases, it releases hormones that reduce insulin’s effect, causing insulin resistance, which leads to type 2 diabetes. Excess fat also raises cholesterol and blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease.
In short, obesity, diabetes, and BP are closely linked and often occur together. Managing weight through proper diet, exercise, or medical treatment can help control or even reverse these health problems and improve overall well-being.
