A member asked:

Aside from health and social problems, what other complications can obesity cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Occupational?: There are only so many different catagories of things. There are emotional, physical, occupational, spiritual and social factors which effect our lives. Obesity can affect any and all of these. Medically speaking, obesity has biopsychosocial ramifications.
