Very much so, yes. It drastically increasing your risk of blood clots due to plague build up, and blood clots can cause infarction's. Infarction's are things like heart attacks, strokes, and pulmonary embolisms.

Being overweight also increases your risk of getting Gout, which is a type of Arthritis wherein uric acid crystals build up in the knees. There's medication, but it's better to just not get it all, like... any other disease.

Another condition that is associated with being overweight is Type 2 diabetes. I'm sure you've heard of Type 2 diabetes, it has to do with the pancreas not being able to handle insulin. It can be managed with diet in most cases, but this is hard for overweight people because a lot of times they have trouble managing their diet in the first place.

Honestly, there are a plethora of conditions that you can get by being overweight. Being overweight puts a strain on basically everything in your body. It is very VERY harmful to your health.
