How do corticosteroids impact the risk of developing obesity, including effects on appetite, fat distribution and metabolism and what preventive measures can be taken?
Corticosteroids increase appetite and alter fat distribution, promoting central obesity. They can also slow metabolism. To counteract these effects, maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and monitor weight.
