Obesity and risk for its comorbidities diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia in Japanese individuals aged 65 years.

ABSTRACT: Diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia are obesity-related comorbidities that contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, one of the leading causes of death. In addition to obesity, the underweight condition is a concern because it can give rise to sarcopenia, particularly after the age of 65 years. We examined the risk for diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia due to obesity in individuals of this age. We retrospectively investigated the relation between obesity and its three major comorbidities in 10,852 individuals aged 65 years who underwent health checkups implemented by Kobe City between April 2017 and March 2021. The prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia with and without hyper-low-density lipoprotein-cholesterolemia was 9.7%, 41.0%, 63.8%, and 19.5
