On the other hand, obesity is a combination of many complex conditions, such as it needs to be combined with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, ischemic heart disease, etc., so it is also a chronic metabolic disorder. Those with no obvious cause are called simple obesity. Obesity can also be one of the clinical manifestations of certain diseases (such as hypothalamic-pituitary inflammation, tumors, trauma, Cushing's syndrome, hypothyroidism, hypogonadism), also known as secondary obesity.
