Abstract:
Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial and relapsing disease, with its prevalence continuously increasing in Belgium as well as in Europe. It is associated with numerous metabolic, cardiovascular, functional, and psychological complications. Its assessment and management require a holistic and personalized approach, incorporating the latest guidelines from scientific societies such as BASO (Belgian Association for the Study of Obesity) and EASO (European Association for the Study of Obesity). This article provides a summary of current data on the definition, assessment, and various therapeutic modalities of obesity, with an emphasis on the importance of individualized, multidisciplinary care that is free of stigma and based on an integrated care model.
