   • Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes occurs when your blood sugar is higher than normal. Over time, this can lead to other health issues, like heart disease, nerve damage, stroke, kidney disease, and vision problems.
   • Heart disease. Heart disease is more prevalent in people with obesity. Over time, fatty deposits may accumulate in the arteries that supply the heart with blood.
   • Stroke. Stroke and heart disease share many of the same risk factors. Strokes occur when the blood supply to the brain is cut off. A stroke can cause damage to brain tissue and result in a range of disabilities, including speech and language impairment, weakened muscles, and changes to thinking and reasoning skills.
   • Sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a disorder in which someone may momentarily stop breathing during sleep. People who are overweight and living with obesity are at a higher risk of having sleep apnea.
