Signs to Watch For

Causes & Risk Factors
Obesity can result from diet and physical inactivity, hormonal factors such as thyroid disorders, PCOS or Cushing's syndrome, genetics, and certain medications.
Diagnosis
Evaluation includes BMI and waist circumference measurement, a metabolic panel covering blood sugar and lipids, and screening for underlying hormonal causes when indicated.
Treatment Options
Treatment is tailored to your evaluation and may include:
- Structured nutrition and physical activity plans
- Medical therapy where appropriate
