"Some of the conditions associated with obesity are well known in the likes of type two diabetes and heart disease but there's quite a few that aren't commonly spoken about and you have the likes of polycystic ovarian syndrome, sleep apnea, endometrial cancer also has quite a high prevalence in people who have obesity."
