Abstract
Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic and impacts cardiovascular health. It is closely associated with hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia which are known precursors of cardiovascular disease and have a significant impact on overall morbidity and mortality. Obesity has been identified as an independent risk factor in the development of dilated cardiomyopathy. This article will review the cardiovascular consequences of obesity and highlight some of the pathophysiologic derangements that have been identified to be associated with obesity.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
