Obesity and Obesity-Related Diseases and Treatments
Özet
Obesity is a disease that impairs body health as a result of abnormal or excessive fat deposit in
the adipose tissue. Obesity and overweight are caused when the amount of energy taken during
nutrition is higher than the amount spent during metabolism and physiological activities. Obesity
is a chronic and common disease with increasing prevalence worldwide affecting both adults and
children. Obesity is a multifactorial disease affected by many environmental and genetic factors
and is known to be an important risk factor for early mortality, metabolic, and cardiovascular
complications. The fact that obesity treatment is a long and difficult process and its cost is high
emphasizes the importance of preventing obesity. For this purpose, obesity prevention studies
including diet education, physical activity, and behavioral changes should be initiated and carried out. When preventive measures are insufficient, different treatment options come to the fore
including diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, medication, and surgery. In this article, data on the definition of obesity, its causes, and treatment options have been compiled in order to determine the
ideal methods for the prevention and treatment of obesity.
