9. Sticker activity: How obesity affects the body Obesity affects the body in the following ways:  Brain: increases risk of stroke  Brain: more likely to be depressed  Throat: increases risk of sleep apnea (airway partially collapses during sleep which interferes with breathing and constant sleep)  Heart: increases risk of heart attack  Lungs: increases risk of chronic breathing problems (obesity weakens the muscles that help us breathe)  Arteries: increase risk of high blood pressure  Wrist: increases risk of carpal tunnel syndrome  Breast: after menopause, increases risk of breast cancer  Liver: increases the risk of fatty liver disease  Gallbladder: increases risk of gallstones  Stomach: increases risk of stomach cancer  Immune system: weakens a person’s immune system  Kidney: increase risk of kidney failure (obesity forces kidneys to work harder) and cancer  Pancreas: increases risk of Type II Diabetes  Colon and Rectum: increases risk of colon and rectum cancer  Uterus: increases risk of menstrual problem and cancer of the endometrium  Reproductive system: reduces fertility in men and women and increases risk of pregnancy complications  Bladder: increases risk of bladder leakage when laugh, sneeze, or exercise (in women)  Knee: increase risk of osteoarthritis (also in hip, hand, and lower back)  Feet: increases risk of gout (uric acid is deposited in the joints)
