Globally, the number of overweight adults is more than 1 billion. And at least 300 million of them are clinically obese. Overweight and obesity are the main factors of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and even cancer.

Recent studies indicate obesity could largely impair the immune system. An impaired immune function will cause the increase in chances for various infections. Do the vaccines work? The answer is probably not. Obesity has a quite high non-response rate to vaccination.

According to scientists’ researches, people affected by obesity have a higher level of white adipose tissue (WAT) in body. WAT, the white fat, can store extra calories and lead to a beer belly or love handles. In addition, there are still 2 kinds of fat exist in the body except white fat: brown fat and beige fat. Brown fat has the ability to burn calories to generate heat. Similarly, beige fat can also burn calories and creates heat. Moreover, beige fat is important for body to prevent obesity.

Through experiments, one group of immune cells named ILC2s existing in fat is extremely vital. They help fight infections and spur the development of beige fat cells, which means they could boost the body’s calorie burning. However, ILC2s were less common in fat from overweight and obese people. Obviously, obesity leads to increased risk of bacterial and viral infection as well as low responses rate to vaccinations.

Many studies have indicated that after weight-loss, the immunity will be enhanced.
