Obesity is a Chronic Disease

Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by excess fat, which in turn results in weight gain. Obesity is the most common metabolic disorder in developed societies. While we are accustomed to hearing “my excess weight is due to fluid retention,” we must demystify this popular belief, it is very rare that weight gain is due to water retention. Diseases such as heart failure or kidney or liver disease, may give a weight gain due to water retention that can lead. There are exceptional situations that despite having a high weight are not obese, such as bodybuilders, who have a muscular hypertrophy (excessive growth of muscle mass).
