What additional condition is NOT a common sequela of obesity?

Obesity is commonly associated with a range of health issues, as the excess body weight places additional strain on various physiological systems. Conditions such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and slipped capital femoral epiphysis have strong correlations with obesity due to the way increased fat tissue influences metabolic and hormonal processes.

Hypertension can arise because obesity is linked to insulin resistance and increased sympathetic nervous system activity, both of which contribute to elevated blood pressure. Type 2 diabetes is a direct consequence of obesity-related insulin resistance, where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to increased blood sugar levels. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a mechanical complication often seen in obese adolescents, where the femoral head dislocates due to excessive weight on the growth plate during periods of growth.

Allergic rhinitis, however, is primarily an immune response to environmental allergens rather than a direct consequence of obesity. While there may be some evidence of associations between obesity and certain allergic conditions due to systemic inflammation, allergic rhinitis itself is not a direct sequela of obesity, differentiating it from the other conditions listed. Thus, it stands out as the exception in relation to obesity.
