Obesity and related conditions
  1. Cancer
    1. CHD
      1. Result of fatty deposits in coronary arteries (atherosclerosis)
        1. Risk factors
          1. Salt - increases water potential = more water in blood= higher pressure (hypertension) =damage to artery lining
            1. Fats
              1. Satd fats (generally animal fats)
              2. Cholesterol
                1. Too much in blood= harmful, linked to 50% of CHD deaths
                  1. Lipoproteins
                    1. Low density - liver--> deposit in tissue. More satd fats= more LDL= more deposits in arterioles
                      1. High density- Tissues-->liver used in metabolic processes e.g. to make bile REDUCES cholesterol in blood
                2. Type 2 diabetes
                  1. Gallstones
                    1. Osteoarthritis
                      1. Hypertension
