**1. Introduction**

Obesity is a disorder characterized by a disproportionate increase in body weight in relation to height, mainly due to the accumulation of fat, is considered a pandemic of the present century. It is associated with several noncommunicable chronic diseases, namely metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), obstructive sleeping apnea, osteoarthropathies, and cancer [1].

It is estimated that 39–49% of the world's population (2.8–3.5 billon people) are overweight. Among adult men, the prevalence of obesity in the Hispanic, black, and white is higher than in Asians, respectively. In women, the prevalence of obesity behavior is almost the same as the men. The black women have the most prevalence following the Hispanic, white, and Asian. In addition, children and adolescents are also affected; between 2 and 19-year-olds, 17% are obese and the males and females are equally [2, 3].

Knowing that the obesity is a complex disease, the prevalence is based on racial/ ethnic and sex factors. For example, among adult men, the prevalence of obesity in the Hispanic, black, and white is higher than in Asians, respectively. In women, the prevalence is almost the same as the men. The black women have the most prevalence following the Hispanic, white, and Asian showing there is a socioeconomic inequality structure as well. In addition, children and adolescents are also affected; between 2 and 19-year-olds 17% are obese and the males and females are equally [2].

In general terms, the trends in obesity prevalence around the world are getting up constantly, which means it highlights the significant impact that the obesity will continue to have on CVD the incidence, prevalence, and deaths globally.

At this time, obesity is linked to numerous diseases of the cardiovascular system: stroke, venous thromboembolic disease and pulmonary hypertension, cardiovascular disease, heart failure, arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, and sudden cardiac death [4].
