In an obese individual there is more stress on the organs. Excess fat develops a blood supply making the heart work harder. Your liver processes fats in your diet and is also working harder in an obese person. There is also visceral fat which is not the fat you see hanging over your jeans, but fat that is internal and packed around organs. Bones are considered an organ too because they are made of a form of connective tissue. Obese individuals' bones have to bear more weight.
