Abstract:
Morbid obesity (BMI over 40 kg/m2) is typically complicated by many serious diseases including early death. Using 7 case studies of morbid obese patients we are documenting severe polymorbidity of these persons including severe manifestation of metabolic syndrome. Using adequate therapy, e.g. gastric banding, risk of these patients can be reduced. Some parts of metabolic syndrome can be documented in adolescent children of these patients. The aim of this study is to show the importance of early intervention in patients with morbid obesity.
