Explain the Clinical manifestations for Obesity?
You must have observed that your overweight friends and colleagues seem to have less energy which makes them an easy prey for fatigue. They are also less agile and more likely to fall because of imbalance; they have a tendency to have high blood pressure and dyspnoea (breathlessness on exertion). Many of them may have increased susceptibility to developing skin disorders such as heat rash, intertrigo (superficial inflammation of two skin surfaces that are in contact with each other such as between thighs), candidiasis (a fungal infection) and acanthosis nigricans (dark, warty growths in skin folds like groin, armpits and mouth).
