1. HEART AND BLOOD DISORDERS TUBE
Obesity is a major cause of heart disease and blood vessel (cardiovascular). Because obesity causes increased cardiac workload, because the bigger a person's body, the heart must work harder to pump blood throughout the body. When you've exceeded the ability of the heart, there was the so-called heart failure. Signs, and incidence of shortness of breath swelling of the legs.
People with obesity are also often suffer from high blood pressure (hypertension) due to narrowing of blood vessels due to fat deposits tongs. The combination of obesity and hypertension is of course aggravate the heart. Consequently, the resulting thickening of the heart chamber wall with a lack of oxygen. This situation will accelerate the emergence of heart failure.
2. LUNGS FUNCTION DISORDERS.
Again fat triggers the problem. In people with obesity, this heap can suppress the respiratory tract. This could lead to stop breathing during sleep (sleep apnea). Disorders such a long time can cause heart failure as well and ends with the death.

Obesity can cause diabetes (diabetes mellitus). This is due to interference with insulin action on infected.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the body. Its function, among others, include sugar from the blood into body cells to be used as an energy source. As a result of dysfunction of insulin, glucose can not enter the cells, so that it remains circulating in the blood. It can be seen from the increased blood sugar levels.
Impaired insulin function was also lead to disturbances of fat metabolism (dyslipidemia). It can be seen from the increase in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), triglycerides, but accompanied by a decrease in HDL (good cholesterol).
Increased levels of bad cholesterol accompanied by decreased levels of cholesterol lead to formation of the crust in the blood vessels (atherosclerosis). Atherosclerosis will reduce the diameter of blood vessels, causing coronary heart disease and stroke.
4. INTERFERENCE joints
Obesity will lead to increased weight load on joints buffer. For example, knee joints, so after a long time can cause inflammation of the joints (osteoarthritis). The symptoms include, pain in the joints, followed by swelling. Joints also become rigid immovable. The worst, sufferers can not walk anymore.
5. HORMONAL SYSTEM DISRUPTION
Obesity was also affect the hormonal system in the body. In girls, obesity causes the first period (menarkhe) come early. In adult women, obesity can cause hormonal balance disorders (hyperandrogenism, hirsutism), and disruption of the menstrual cycle.
Hyperandrogenism means the amount of the hormone androgen (male) increases. Resulting in hirsutism (sign masculinization). For example spotty, distribution of hairs on the face and body, maybe even change the sound to be heavy as a male voice.
In women, obesity also increase the risk of gallstones. This occurs because the liquid becomes more viscous bile.
6. INCREASE THE RISK OF DISEASE Malignant
The results showed, in women who are experiencing menopause, obesity increases the risk of cancer of the uterus (endometrium) and breast cancer. Whereas in men, obesity can increase the risk of prostate cancer and colon cancer (colorectal).
7. PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS
