There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia.

As I have written about before , the risk of all three conditions mentioned above, which are leading causes of death, are driven by poor metabolic health ranging from insulin resistance to the more extreme phenotype, type 2 diabetes. Thyroid disorders were about 53% less in the ideal group, but the real impact was on type 2 diabetes.

Falling into the class of obesity with a BMI of greater than 30 makes this more likely, but so also does having excess visceral fat deposition with significant metabolic consequences at a BMI less than 30. The distinction here is the metabolic consequences of excess fat causing a health risk rather than focusing on the BMI cutoff.
