Obesity
People with large waist size, obesity, or overweight can be at a higher risk of forming kidney stones than other people. In other words, the problem is more common in those with a BMI of more than 30. This is because the excess weight would reduce the metabolic rate and the body’s capability to absorb minerals. As a result, these components would build up in the kidneys and digestive tracts to cause stones. Adopting a balanced diet and doing regular exercises can help you reduce the risk. [8]
