  3. Lipid Profile Screening: Obesity often causes high cholesterol and triglycerides, which increase the risk of heart disease.

  4. Checking organ function: The MCU also checks the heart, kidneys, and liver. Obesity can cause unhealthy organ conditions.


Obesity is a global health problem that affects millions. To stay healthy, it's important to take care of your weight. A yearly check-up can help detect and prevent obesity-related disease.
