Obesity is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, cancer and other conditions. Although generalized obesity is associated with increased risk, the android pattern of body fat distribution may be a more sensitive predictor of coronary artery disease. A gradual weight reduction program, including adherence to a low-fat, calorie-restricted diet and participation in daily exercise, is the best approach to reduce weight and body fat. |
