Explanation

"Metabolic comorbidities" refers to health problems related to the body's process of breaking down food and drink to produce energy, which occur at the same time as another primary disease. These can include conditions like diabetes, obesity, or high blood pressure. They are called "comorbidities" because they exist alongside another primary condition and can often make it more difficult to treat the primary disease. These conditions can also increase the risk of complications and worsen the patient's overall health.
