  • Among the many conditions caused or worsened by excess adipose tissue (AT), the most prevalent are:
    • Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
    • Elevated blood sugar
    • High blood pressure
    • Dyslipidemia
    • Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)
    • Cancer
    • Obesity and stress: cause and effect
    • Psychiatric disease
  • These conditions are also largely improved, even prevented, by weight loss.
  • It is therefore recommended that weight loss be an integral part of management whenever excess AT accompanies any of these conditions.
