Abstract:
Universities are relying on student-activating methods in teaching. This work was concerned with an approach to teaching of obesity as a civilization-related disease to medical students. Brainstorming, snowball discussion, careful reading of medical texts, evidence-based medicine, and practicals on how to measure BMI and WHR were exploited. Analysis of medical histories to disclose risk factors of ischemic heart disease and polymetabolic syndrome X are proposed. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies of obesity and its disorders are presented.
