Importance of weight lost in patients with obesity
Keywords:
obesity, reduction of body weight, energy balance.Abstract
In spite of the advances in the clinical and epidemiological knowledge on obesity, its prevalence has increased significantly, and its prevention and treatment continue to be a challenge for the health professionals. At present it is considered that the control of the energy balance is based on a feedback system which objective is to maintain the stable energy deposits, in order to achieve, with the decrease of weight, important benefits in terms of health and life quality. In this work, some considerations related to the etiopatogenicity of obesity and the importance of weight reduction in the obese patients are exposed.
