Specialize in Appetite Physiology and Weight Control. Pathophysiology, with the help of active professionals with extensive experience in the sector"

Obesity, the true epidemic of the 21st century until the arrival of COVID-19, represents a major global health problem. The WHO estimates that it could affect 650 million people worldwide, with a mortality rate of some 2.8 million people each year.

It is a heterogeneous syndrome whose pathophysiology and etiopathogenesis (genetics, epigenetics, new hormonal control mechanisms, nutrigenomics, microbiomics, etc.) are continuously advancing. These advances are allowing us to better understand the factors that affect the processes involved in energy homeostasis and in the development of obesity.

Obesity is a permanent focus of concern due to the ever-increasing number of cases and the related comorbidities. These lead to a significant increase in death, especially from cardiovascular illnesses and cancer. Furthermore, the various medical and surgical treatments available and the exponential increase in health care costs related to obesity also makes it a focus of attention. 

With this in mind, preventing obesity is essential. Through the use of a multidisciplinary approach, the aim is to implement lifestyle changes, especially physical activity and dietary patterns, and should be introduced as early on in the process as possible.

Professionals must know how to correctly diagnose obesity and its complications and propose appropriate treatment strategies and its complications and propose appropriate treatment strategies in the three fundamental areas of action: nutrition, physical exercise and attitudes towards food to which we must add, in patients in whom it is indicated, drugs and bariatric surgery.

In the last decade, there have been enormous advances in the understanding of obesity. This has brought Precision Medicine to the forefront of treatment, requiring the professional to be adequately prepared to provide new therapeutic responses. The enormous development of new technologies such as health apps, brought about by COVID-19, allows patient empowerment and decision support.
