sentence structure

"Medical students' disease" refers to the phenomenon in which medical students notice something innocuous about their health and then attach to it exaggerated significance.

Q) I was wondering where "exaggerated significance" belongs to. I don't understand this sentence's structure. Does it giver additional information to "it?" Is it like this? (... attach to it which is exaggerated significance.)
