Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypothyroidism is a common condition where the thyroid doesn’t create and release enough thyroid hormone into your bloodstream. This makes your metabolism slow down. Also called underactive thyroid, hypothyroidism can make you feel tired, gain weight and be unable to tolerate cold temperatures.

Detailed explanation-2: -Our meta-analysis showed that obesity was significantly associated with increased risks of hypothyroidism, including overt hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism, and could be accompanied by at least 1.86-fold increase of developing hypothyroidism.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most common cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto’s disease. Autoimmune diseases happen when the immune system makes antibodies that attack healthy tissues. Sometimes that process involves the thyroid gland and affects its ability to make hormones.

Detailed explanation-4: -An underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) is where your thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. Common signs of an underactive thyroid are tiredness, weight gain and feeling depressed.

Detailed explanation-5: -You may experience symptoms such as fatigue, sleepiness, muscle weakness, constipation, sensitivity to cold, cognitive problems, dry skin, a hoarse voice, lower appetite, joint pain, and menstrual changes, says Antonio Bianco, MD, PhD, a professor of medicine at the University of Chicago.
