• Description:
  Introduction and Purpose: Several endocrine disorders, including diabetes, insulinoma, Cushing syndrome, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and growth hormone deficiency, are associated with obesity. The mechanisms underlying the development of obesity vary according to the abnormalities of endocrine function. This review examines the hormonal disturbances linked to obesity, extending beyond just diabetes. It explores the prevalence, clinical features, screening, diagnosis, and management of these related conditions. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive survey of articles published in scientific journals was conducted via PubMed and Google Scholar online research platforms. Articles were searched by entering keywords in the appropriate configuration:  “obesity,” “hypothyroidism”, “hypercortisolism”, “hypogonadism” and “PCOS”. Description of current knowledge: Prediabetes and diabetes are the most frequently encountered endocrine conditions by physicians and endocrinologists. Other common endocrine disorders seen in specialty clinics include hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, androgen excess in women, and hypogonadism in men. Summary: With our expanding knowledge of obesity, it is vital to acknowledge the influential role of fat cells in hormone synthesis. Physicians caring for obese patients should adopt a meticulous approach, screening for hormonal imbalances beyond just diabetes, to ensure comprehensive patient management.
