Overview

Obesity is an independent risk factor for the development and progression of hypertension, cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. There is growing evidence that obesity and associated metabolic abnormalities may induce and accelerate renal complications in essential hypertension. The clustering of obesity and other features of the metabolic syndrome might have important implications for prevention, particularly with regard to whether interventions targeted at visceral obesity would have beneficial effects on cardiovascular and renal morbidity.

Key words:
obesity – arterial hypertension – metabolic syndrome – pathophysiological relationship
