It is by correlating all the facts, getting statistics from live patients/customers and autopsy results, after patients pass on. Some facts are easier to add up especially with conditions like diabetes, or hypertension. An analysis of hospital patients statistics usually show a higher number of patients are obese, and there are known associations like diseases and syndromes (or collections of facts). Following obese patients who have managed to gain control of their weight usually reveal improved risks as well. Some famous studies such as the Framingham study followed thousands over a 20 year time. Such studies are very effective to study risks. Other smaller studies are also revealing. Studies are ongoing, and observations change over time as well. Like obese people often have an abnormal handling of sugars, so which comes first - diabetes or abnormal sugar processing?

By keeping an eye on the health problems suffered by obese people and comparing the rate at which they occur to the general population. This shows that obese people are more likely to suffer a large range of health problems compared to the population avarage.

They study the lifestyles and health problems that obese people have. Then they compare it to people who eat healthy and exercise. It’s all statistics.
