Until now, obesity has been a difficult disease to treat because it is a multi-factorial disease and no one treatment has been considered a “cure.” Contributing factors for obesity include genetics, environment, socio-economic, psychological, and medical, and all of these factors come into play when dealing with and treating obesity.
Obesity is considered “morbid” when it reaches the point of signicantly increasing the risk of obesity-related health conditions or serious diseases, called co-morbidities, that can cause death or disability.
