"Overweight" and obesity are complex, chronic health conditions that can be caused by several factors, such as genetics, environment, hormones, or other medical conditions. Overweight and obesity involve excess weight. Obesity may be associated with hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, or insulin resistance, and elevated levels of fibrinogen and C-reactive protein, all of which increase the risk of CVD events. In addition to CVD, obesity has been shown to increase the risk of high blood pressure.
