Obesity Medicine

Obesity is an epidemic affecting more than 400 million people in the world today. It has an ability to cross national, cultural, and socioeconomic boundaries. It affects even the youngest among us. Obesity leads to myriad structural, physiological, and psychosocial disturbances, which in turn diminish the quality of life of the afflicted and threaten the long-term survival of entire generations.

Obesity causes or exacerbates more than 60 medical illnesses, influencing diagnosis, treatment and outcomes in nearly every medical discipline. Obesity medicine takes a comprehensive approach to the patient with obesity. Its organization reflects the recognition that the etiology of obesity is multifactorial and includes genetic, developmental, physiologic, psychosocial, behavioral, nutritional, and environmental contributors. Obesity Medicine recognizes the phenotypic diversity of obesity, including the variations in severity, age of onset, distribution of body fat, eating behaviors, energy regulation, comorbidities, and responses to treatment.
