why are they calling obesity a "chronic disease" now?
Is it true being 30%+ bodyfat is as bad for your hormones as being <10% bodyfat?
>nowwhat the fuck else would you call it, in a medical journal?are people on this board really so terminally midwitted that they get BTFO by the most basic Academic language? get a job you fuckin dyel
>>76803502>complexthis is the part I would disagree with. it's pretty clear that most Americans eat literal over processed slop made out of byproducts and chemicals, in combination with 0 exercise. I know people who think 10,000 steps is working out.
>>76803525That's not what "complex" means in medicine, shitwit.A "chronic complex disease" is a long-term ailment that has cascading/downstream detrimental effects, that vary from patient to patient. It makes treatment and symptom management exponentially more complicated than for a non-complex disease.stg you people are trying to flex how retarded you are.
>>76803502how is it not a disease? what do you disagree with?
>>76803518>>76803555Fuck off premed nerd
If it's a disease then the health insurance people can get paid for it. The fat loss drugs can get put on medicare and get subsidized.
>>76803603It's a basic function of the human body.
>>76803604I'm not premed, I have a different STEM degree. I'm just not a degenerate fucking retard that reads with their finger under each word..
>>76803626so is the formation and development of a tumor, dipshit.
>>7680352510k steps daily is far more than probably 95% of obese people walk
>>76803509no the only reason people think its bad is because 99% of people that are below 10% are on drugs
>>76803706>obese people>walk
>>76803502Chronic = developed over timeDisease = bad health conditionSounds about right?
>>76803630No, a tumor is a defect. Your body is supposed to store fat when you eat carbs which are naturally rare or an excess of fat and protein which would be more common.
>>76803502i fucking despise this trend of using "overweight" as a nounsame thing with "bipolar"
>>76803760So a gunshot wound to the head is an acute fatal disease?
>>76804066No, it's vulnus sclopetarium
>>76804066violent injury =/= disease but they can cause diseases like a limp leg from a car accidentthe problem here is yall brown ass niggas don't know fuckin' english
>>76804104The disease goes away if you control for food intake though. That means it's not a disease.
>>76804106>the disease goes away if you cure itno shit nigger
>>76804106Depression is also not a disease because you can just stop being sad. Depressed people are lazy and lack willpower.
>>76803623>Based semantics appreciator
>>76804129You don't have depression, you're just a loser.
>>76804129You are correct. Depression is cured with diet, exercise, and changes to the environment, which is what lazy people refuse to do.
