Obesity is a widespread chronic inflammatory disease that can lead to increased health risks and subsequent development of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. The World Obesity Federation (WOF) predicts that the global number of obese adults will reach 1 billion by 2030. The World Obesity Federation (WOF) identifies Kazakhstan as a high-risk country for obesity. By 2030, obesity rates in Kazakhstan are expected to rise to 25.7% in men, 29% in women, and 9.5% in children aged 5 to 19. Kazakhstans National Center for Public Health has observed a significant increase in overweight and obesity rates, particularly among children. Epidemiological data indicate that boys have a higher obesity rate than girls. Specifically, 23.6% of boys were classified as overweight, including obesity, compared to 17.6% of girls. Recent studies highlight the role of immune cell function in obesity-related inflammation providing a potential new target for treating obesity-linked inflammatory diseases. This review article discusses the role of immune cells in regulating obesity-related diseases, including diabetes.
