Answer f. Other comorbidities in the extremely obese population include hypertension, right- and left-ventricular hypertrophy, Type II diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, restrictive lung disease due to abdominal competition, hepatic steatosis, and increased risk of thromboembolic disease.
