Why Obesity Treatment?
Obesity is a condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the body. Obesity is classified by calculating a person's body mass index (BMI). BMI is a measurement used to divide a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters.
Obesity usually occurs as a result of an imbalance of energy intake and expenditure. Many factors such as excessive consumption of high-calorie foods, low physical activity level, genetic factors, hormonal changes, psychological factors, environmental factors and lifestyle habits can be effective in the development of obesity.
Obesity is an intense fat accumulation in the body that poses a risk to health, with a body fat measure (body mass index) based on height and weight having a value of 30 or higher. Obesity, which also affects diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver disease and sleep apnea, is a curable disease. Physical activity, healthy nutrition and behavioral changes are used to treat obesity by helping to lose weight. In some cases, drug therapy or surgical methods developed against obesity can be used.
WHAT IS OBESITY?
Obesity is a condition where a person's body mass index, that is, the ratio of height to weight in kilograms, is over 30 as a result of consuming more calories than the body can use. It is a situation where the body mass index (BMI) is not appropriate for the height and body structure. Obesity is also known as fat in the abdominal area and internal organs. An unbalanced increase in the amount of fat in the body can cause cardiovascular diseases, vascular occlusion, stroke and cholesterol. Obesity or being overweight also causes shortness of breath.
Obesity is a rapidly progressing disease in the world and in our country. Obesity rates are increasing day by day. Obesity, as the average lifespan increases, reduces the quality of life, reduces people's production capacity and must be treated.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF OBESITY?
The first and most obvious symptom of obesity is an increase in the amount of fat in the body. The symptoms seen with the development of obesity are listed as follows:
WHAT CAUSES OBESITY?
It may occur due to obesity, psychological problems or hormonal factors. However, the biggest factor in the development of this disease is a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet. It is possible to list all the reasons that cause obesity as follows:
Hormonal and metabolic factors
Due to hormonal imbalance and slow metabolism in the body, the person's body has difficulty burning fat and causes the person to gain excess weight. Medicines used due to hormonal imbalances can increase appetite and cause obesity.
Genetic, psychological factors
Anxiety and mood disorders, especially depression, are the main factors in the emergence of obesity. Especially social environment and family relationships can also cause obesity. Having a family history of obesity also poses a risk.
Frequently following very low-energy diets
Continuously following low-calorie diets may cause your metabolic rate to decrease with age. When there is little movement, weight gain occurs and causes obesity.
Smoking and alcohol use habits
It is known that the prevalence of obesity is 1.2 times higher in smokers. People who smoke may gain weight by potentially eating more. With increased weight gain, they may develop obesity.
Some medicines useds (antidepressants, etc.)
Some medications used against chronic diseases can increase appetite and cause weight gain. Antidepressants, especially those used against psychological problems, cause weight gain if care is not taken.
Number of births and frequent birth interval
As the number of births increases and the birth interval decreases, women experience weight gain, which paves the way for obesity.
Insufficient intake of breast milk
A weak immune system and poor development of metabolic and hormonal processes due to not getting enough breast milk may lead to obesity.

Obesity is a medical condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat, typically defined by a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher.
Weight loss medications can be effective for some people when combined with lifestyle changes. They are typically prescribed for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with obesity-related health conditions.
Prevention includes maintaining a healthy diet, staying physically active, monitoring weight, and avoiding behaviors that contribute to weight gain. Education and early intervention are also key in preventing obesity.
Insurance coverage varies by provider and policy. Some insurance plans cover certain treatments, such as bariatric surgery, medications, and counseling, especially if they are deemed medically necessary. Always check with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.
Follow-up care is crucial for long-term success. It helps monitor progress, manage any complications, provide ongoing support, and adjust treatment plans as needed. Regular check-ups with healthcare providers, dietitians, and support groups are often recommended.
Yes, but treatments for children and adolescents are usually more conservative and focus on lifestyle changes, behavioral therapy, and family involvement. Medications and surgical options may be considered in severe cases with serious health risks.
