Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. These are among the leading causes of preventable, premature death. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source, about 43% of adults with depression from 2005-2010 had obesity. Adults diagnosed with depression are more likely to be obese than those without the disorder.
The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the United States was nearly $173 billion in 2019 dollars. Medical costs for adults who had obesity were $1,861 higher than medical costs for people with healthy weight.
