Abstract:
Obesity is a chronic disease caused by dysregulated energy homeostasis pathways that encourage the accumulation of adiposity, which in turn results in the development or exacerbation of weight-related comorbidities. Treatment of obesity relies on a foundation of lifestyle modification; weight loss pharmacotherapy, bariatric surgery and devices are additional tools to help patients achieve their health goals. Appropriate management of patients with obesity provides multiple metabolic benefits beyond weight loss.
