To match the complications of obesity with the body system they affect:

  1. Endocrine

    • Insulin resistance: Obesity can lead to insulin resistance, a key feature of metabolic syndrome and a precursor to type 2 diabetes.
  2. Gastrointestinal

    • Cholelithiasis: This refers to gallstones, which are more common in obese individuals due to increased cholesterol levels in bile.
  3. Neurologic

    • Stroke: Obesity increases the risk of stroke due to its association with hypertension, diabetes, and other cardiovascular risk factors.
  4. Respiratory

    • Obstructive sleep apnea: Excess weight can lead to fat deposits around the upper airway, obstructing breathing during sleep.

Unmatched complications:

  • Early onset of osteoarthritis: This primarily affects the musculoskeletal system due to increased stress on joints.
  • Hypertension: This affects the cardiovascular system, as obesity can lead to increased blood pressure.

Summary:

  • Endocrine: Insulin resistance
  • Gastrointestinal: Cholelithiasis
  • Neurologic: Stroke
  • Respiratory: Obstructive sleep apnea
