Obesity is a chronic disease in which excess body fat accumulates, and it can cause various complications, such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and arthritis. Under Asia-Pacific criteria, obesity is diagnosed when body mass index (BMI) is 25 kg/m² or higher, and, like high blood pressure and diabetes, it is a condition that needs lifelong management. Please consult a medical specialist before deciding on a treatment method.

If left unaddressed, this may lead to cavities or gum inflammation, so more careful care is needed.

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weaker and can break easily even from a minor impact. There are often no symptoms, and it is frequently discovered only after a fracture occurs. The risk is higher in postmenopausal women and older adults, so regular bone density testing and preventive lifestyle habits are important. Please be sure to discuss treatment options with a medical specialist.
