Obesity is the most common form of malnutrition in the western world. It is a chronic disease of excessive storage of fat in the body, with many years of evolution, being multifactorial in its genesis, genetically related, threatening to human life, with high medical, psychological, social, physical and economic significance.
As such, it involves hereditary, biochemical, hormonal, environmental, behavioural, and cultural factors in its origin. Surgical intervention is the most effective solution for treating obesity (bariatric surgery).
In Portugal, it is estimated that 13% of males and 15% of females suffer from different levels of obesity.
