Abstract
Prevalence of obesity worldwide is on an increase at an alarming rate with USAalone showing a 37.5% increase in obese individuals. Obesity is defined by the basal metabolic rate of the individual however off-late waist is to hip ratio has gained precedence over simple BMI in diagnosing Obesity. Post mortem in obese is challenging not only due to the logistics involved but also due to the various co- morbid conditions that an obese individual will have. Adipose tissue is now being looked upon as an entire organ in itself rather than a simple inert tissue and this organ is capable of releasing chemicals which control some of the major metabolic functions of the body. Various diseases occurring with obesity as a cause under study are OSA,OSH, Cancer etc. which we will discuss in this article.
