Currently, obesity is not only considered a disease in itself, but is also identified as a factor favouring other acute and chronic pathologies, some of which are irreversible.
Obesity aggravates and statistically increases the risk of suffering pathologies derived from obesity such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic, ostheoarticular , obstetric, and psychosocial dysfunctions, X syndrome, and increase in intra and post surgery complications among others.
We now have available multiple resources for a successful treatment of this pathology. Nevertheless many therapies currently in use can not reverse the tendency of transforming itself in a chronic disease.
OBESITY
Diagnose
Obesity can be diagnosed with sufficvient precision with the Body Mass Index (BMI). It is the result of dividing the body´s weight (in kg,) over the square of the persons height (in meters). The use of this index is in use by most doctors and easy to calculate.

How to read the results:
