Abstract
Background
While insulin resistance and diabetes shine as the central stars in the constellation of obesity-related conditions, other common endocrine diseases are also closely associated with obesity and high body mass index.
Main body
This review aims to illuminate the hormonal imbalances associated with obesity, beyond diabetes. It covers the prevalence, clinical presentation, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of some of these conditions.
Conclusion
In obese patients, physicians must pay attention to hormonal disorders that may be associated with obesity.
