Obesity becomes morbid when it reaches the point of significantly increasing the risk of one or more obesity-related health conditions or serious diseases (also known as co-morbidities) that result either in significant physical disability or even death.


The term morbid obesity Wholesale Nike Air Max UK , also called “clinically severe obesity” or “class-3” obesity – is a disease of excess body fat (adipose tissue), which can adversely affect general health, mobility and quality of life. Morbid obesity is typically defined as being 100 lbs. or more over ideal body weight or having a Body Mass Index of 40 or higher. According to the National Institutes of Health Consensus Report, morbid obesity is a serious disease and must be treated as such. It is a chronic disease, meaning that its symptoms build slowly over an extended period of time.


Morbid obesity is a significant risk factor for hypertension, cardiovascular disease, some cancers, diabetes, respiratory problems and musculo-skeletal disorders. Generally, the health threats of morbid obesity are: double risk of early death if your weight is more than twice your ideal, 5-7 times greater risk of death from diabetes or heart attack, high risk of “end-stage” (untreatable) obesity, numerous negative social, psychological and economic effects.


The causes of severe clinical obesity remain complex and varied, and typically include factors such as family genetic history, lifestyle and eating habits in childhood and adolescence, medication usage, calorie-intake, mooddepression, degree of physical activity, and cultural, socioeconomic and psychosocial factors. Although there are several clearly identifiable causes and contributory risk factors for morbid obesity, experts have been unable to pinpoint the relative importance of these risk factors in the ongoing obesity epidemic.


Treatment for morbid obesity usually includes a combination of liquid or very-low-calorie diets, weight loss medications and exercise counseling. Patients suffering from significant co-morbid conditions may also qualify for bariatric weight loss surgery such as gastric banding or stomach bypass.


Mildly obese patients can benefit from diet and exercise treatments, sometimes provided in conjunction with weight loss medication. Patients with morbid obesity, especially those with serious co-morbid conditions, may qualify for bariatric surgical treatments such as Lap Band or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Lap-band adjustable gastric banding is the latest entrant (approved by the FDA in 2001) in the sphere of surgical treatment of morbid obesity


It has become increasingly clear that those with morbid obesity may not be able to get their weight under significant control on their own without surgery. If you are morbidly obese you run a significant risk of dying prematurely due to your weight. In fact, those with morbid obesity can be expected to die 13-20 years prematurely unless they can lose most of their excess weight.

Keiko Fujimori, the conservative daughter of jailed former president Alberto Fujimori, won the first round of Peru's presidential election on Sunday but she will likely face center-right economist Pedro Pablo Kuczynski in a tight run-off.


Exit polls and early official results showed Fujimori with close to 40 percent support, falling well short of the 50 percent needed for an outright victory.


A quick count by polling firm Ipsos said Fujimori had 39.6 percent of the vote with Kuczynski on 21.5 percent and leftist lawmaker Veronika Mendoza on 18.7 percent.


Early results and exit polls also showed that Kuczynski, a 77-year-old former World Bank economist, had a lead for second place and a spot in the run-off, although the results could still change as more votes come in from more remote areas.


With 40 percent of votes counted, Peru's electoral authority said Fujimori led with 39.2 percent while Kuczynski had 24.3 percent and Mendoza 16.6 percent.


Despite her lead on Sunday, polls have shown Fujimori could lose the June 5 run-off vote because many voters opposed to her father's authoritarian rule in the 1990s are likely to rally behind her rival, whether it is Kuczynski or Mendoza.


The son of European immigrants, Kuczynski is a pro-business economist and a former finance minister but is more moderate on some social issues than Fujimori, 40, and does not have the baggage associated with her last name.


"We don't want a polarized nation," he said after dancing in front of supporters on Sunday night, although he urged calm until official results were in. "We have made progress but not enough. We are going to make a progressive government, socially and economically."


Fujimori has said she would drive economic growth forward at the end of a decade-long mining boom by tapping a rainy day fund and issuing new debt to fund badly needed infrastructure. She has portrayed herself as the only candidate who would be sufficiently tough on crime.


"Keiko would get rid of terrorists and criminals," said Alejandro Placido, a 32-year-old electrician after voting in Lima on Sunday.


Financial markets will likely rise on news of a Fujimori-Kuczynski run-off if it is confirmed.

Fears that Mendoza might make it into the run-off led Peru's currency, the sol, to weaken 1.5 percent and the benchmark stock index to fall 4.39 percent over the past week.


Mendoza, 35, promised leftist social reforms and said Peru's powerful mining industry should have less influence. She also wants to stop exporting natural gas to favor.
