The odds are decently high someone you love falls on it. It's not what some think. It's not limited to just obese people or type 2 diabetes.

Tuberculosis
2. Comorbidities that are supported by at least one observational study (e.g., cohort, case-control, or cross-sectional):

These studies might include systematic review or meta-analysis that represents one condition in a larger group of conditions (for example, kidney transplant under the category of solid organ or blood stem cell transplantation).

3. Comorbidities that are supported by mostly case series, case reports, or, if other study design, the sample size is small (and no systematic review or meta-analysis available was available to review):

Defined as having an association in one or more case series studies. If there are cohort or case-control studies, the sample size was small. Conditions included might be less common.
Cystic fibrosis

4. Comorbidities that are supported by mixed evidence:

Defined as having an association in at least one meta-analysis or systematic review and additional studies or reviews that reached different conclusions about risk associated with a medical condition.
