Obesity is responsible for a great number of the diseases that affect life, diminishing it's quality and bringing complications for the people who suffer from it.
Diabetes Mellitus, for example, can lead to retinopathy, kidney disease, neuropathy, the use of dialysis, etc. Hypertension can lead to vascular disease in the heart or brain. All this can be prevented by treating obesity; we understand now that obesity is not just another way of life, it is a disease that makes a person be in a constant inflammatory state and, when approached by a team of specialists, it can be reversed.
Today the United States is one of the countries with the highest prevalence of obesity in it´s population; nearly 4 of every 10 american adults are obese, the cost of medical health in the American population is 261 billion dollars every year, and personal expenses for about $2,800 USD annually for every obese patient in the united states (according to an article published in 2021 in the Journal of Managed Care and Specialty Pharmacy).
