Pleurisy itself is not directly caused by obesity, but obesity can contribute to respiratory issues and conditions that may increase the risk of pleurisy. For instance, excess weight can lead to inflammation and respiratory infections, which can trigger pleuritic pain. Additionally, individuals with obesity may have a higher likelihood of developing conditions like pneumonia, which can also lead to pleurisy. Therefore, while obesity is not a direct cause, it can be a contributing factor in some cases.
