No there isn't. I was trying to be helpful to a fellow blue who requested it but when I copied it here it froze then posted when I was trying to remove it.
Despite your lack of social graces I'm going to be helpful to you. Have a good read.

Obesity

Health risks of adult obesity
There is now good evidence to show that adult obesity is associated with a wide range of health problems, these are summarised below.

Musculoskeletal system



    • Raised body weight puts strain on the body's joints, especially the knees, increasing the risk of osteoarthritis (degeneration of cartilage and underlying bone within a joint).
    • There is also an increased risk of low back pain.
Circulatory system



    • Raised BMI increases the risk of hypertension (high blood pressure), which is itself a risk factor for coronary heart disease and stroke and can contribute to other conditions such as renal failure.
    • The risk of coronary heart disease (including heart attacks and heart failure) and stroke are both substantially increased.
    • Risks of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are also increased.
Metabolic and endocrine systems



    • The risk of Type 2 diabetes is substantially raised: it has been estimated that excess body fat underlies almost two-thirds of cases of diabetes in men and three quarters of cases in women. Diabetes currently affects nearly 200 million people worldwide and International Diabeted Federation predict that this will increase to over 330 million by 2025, with a massive burden in developing countries. Worldwide, the number of people with diabetes has tripled since 1985.
    • There is a greater risk of dyslipidemia (for example, high total cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides), which also contributes to the risk of circulatory disease by speeding up atherosclerosis (fatty changes to the linings of the arteries).
    • Metabolic syndrome is a combination of disorders including high blood glucose, high blood pressure and high cholesterol and triglyderide levels. It is more common in obese individuals and is associated with significant risks of coronary heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.

Mate I know this is sarcastic but it's just more scrolling.
