All the diseases resulting from obesity lead to end-organ damage; means due to obesity and problems related to it, you are slowly deteriorating your kidney, liver, pancreas, heart etc). No wonder scientists and health professionals are bus finding solution for this malady and reduce the high mortality rates due to these maladies.
Waist-hip ratio is more important:
The people who are overtly concerned about body mass index need to read this precisely. Earlier the BMI or body mass index was considered the sole culprit for above mentioned diseases. Well high BMI is dangerous but the high waist-hip ratio is said to be more dangerous and can lead to the diseases early. The central obesity is said to be one of the most problematic situations in both men and women. In women, such high waist hip ratio affects them especially after menopause and thereafter they equal their risk of developing cardiac diseases. In short, establishing normal waist hip ratio with apt diet and exercise can go a long way in establishing harmonious vital parameters.
