Associated Disease Details
Disease ID: | I14 |
DO ID: | 9970 |
Disease Name: | Obesity |
Definition: | An overnutrition that is characterized by excess body fat, traditionally defined as an elevated ratio of weight to height (specifically 30 kilograms per meter squared), has_material_basis_in a multifactorial etiology related to excess nutrition intake, decreased caloric utilization, and genetic susceptibility, and possibly medications and certain disorders of metabolism, endocrine function, and mental illness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity |
Synonyms: | Overweight |
Class: | disease of metabolism/acquired metabolic disease/ nutrition disease/overnutrition |
Related Drugs: | Orlistat; Phentermine; Rimonabant; Sibutramine |
Mechanism: | Both T2DM and obesity have been independently associated with an increased risk of developing NAFLD5, and improvements in insulin sensitivity have been positively associated with histological improvements in NASH and fibrosis regression. |
