The individual with the most likely negative effect of overweight and obesity is Pierre who has sleep apnea.

Explanation:

Sleep apnea is a condition in which the airways are temporarily obstructed during sleep, making inhalation and exhalation difficult.

This condition results in reduced oxygen supply to the blood cells and accumulation of carbondioxide in the blood, and this hypoventilation can result in intermittent waking up of the patient throughout the period of sleep.

In adults, this condition is most commonly cause by obesity and overweight which leads to an excess deposition of fatty tissues in the soft tissues of the mouth and throat, and during sleep, when the muscles of the mouth and throat relax, these excess fatty tissues collapse, closing briefly the airways, resulting in difficulty in breathing.

other factors that can contribute to the development of sleep apnea are;

excessively thick neck, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, Down's syndrome, Pierre-Robinson syndrome, smoking and excessive alcohol use.

The other conditions mentioned in the questions are not directly related to obesity and overweight.

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley; i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten, all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however, many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn; whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today, its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.

Agroup of 50 adult male humans were in a clinical study to determine how much niacin is toxic. during the first two weeks of the study, members of the group consumed only a formula diet that was nutritionally complete, except it contained 24 mg niacin, which is 1.5 times the rda for niacin (males). at that point in the study, all members reported feeling fine. during the next week, they were given a formula that contained 48 mg niacin. within a few days of consuming this formula, 90% of the participants reported feeling ill, and they complained of having upset stomachs and reddened facial skin. at that point, researchers gave the subjects a formula that contain 16 mg niacin. after a week of consuming the new formula, all participants reported feeling well again. based on this information, the researchers concluded that the amdr for niacin is between 16 and 24 mg/day. ul for niacin was between 24 and 48 mg/day. human requirement for niacin is 16 mg/day. eer for niacin was 16 mg/day.
