Sažetak

Obese persons are at a high risk to develop hyperlipoproteinemia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary disease, and degenerative diseases. Excessive body mass and obesity have numerous and diverse adverse effects on health. Along with many consequences directly influencing the quality of life, there is an increased risk of premature death. The risk factors for cardiac disease include elevated concentration of total and LDL cholesterol, a decreased concentration of HDL cholesterol, increased concentration of triglycerides and blood glucose, elevated arterial blood pressure, cigarette smoking and inadequate physical activity. Disease development can be prevented and delayed by regular physical activity.
