Cardiovascular disease (CVD) poses as a paramount risk factor for obesity in the US (42.4% of adults, CDC, 2018). CVD is closely linked to the increasing prevalence of obesity, as obesity contributes to risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. This connection increases the prevalence of heart attacks, stroke, and other cardiac events. The obesity epidemic continues to grow, placing a significant strain on public health, increasing healthcare expenditure thus reducing productivity. Beyond its economic impact, obesity also diminishes quality of life, contributes to social challenges, and increases disability rates. To reduce the associated morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD), it is essential to implement effective prevention strategies and policy interventions. Encouraging healthier diets, promoting physical activity, and improving access to healthcare can help lower obesity-related cardiovascular diseases, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
