Obesity problem

Worldwide, obesity affects about 13% of the adult population. Although there is a link with other serious diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and some forms of malignant neoplasms, obesity is not always considered a serious chronic disease, so the number of treatments is limited. In addition, obese patients may face stigma due to being overweight. Weight bias can be encountered at work, school, and even at the doctor's office, and this can create additional physical and mental health problems.

Currently, our company seeks to change the attitude towards obese patients and approaches to their treatment.

Obesity study

Obesity is a serious chronic disease. The main reason for its development lies in the imbalance between the energy consumed from food and the energy expended by the body for life and movement - but this is only part of the problem.

The development of obesity depends on a number of factors, both internal and external, including hereditary predisposition, metabolic disorders, changes in lifestyle, and even the conditions and place of human life.

Obesity treatment

Obesity is a serious chronic disease. But it can be treated. Even a slight decrease in body weight can help reduce the risk of additional complications and improve overall health.

Depending on individual needs, obesity treatment may include patient counseling, obesity medication, or surgery in addition to diet and exercise.

Living with obesity

Living with obesity means facing different challenges in all aspects. From finding the right size for beautiful clothes to using public transport, using furniture that did not take into account the limitations of "big people" when designing. But perhaps the biggest challenge is overcoming the biases that obese people face every day.

Negative attitudes towards overweight people due to low awareness of the problem often lead to stigmatization from employers, friends and loved ones, and even medical professionals. This, in turn, can lead to discrimination and significantly affect a person's income, his ability to receive education and quality medical care, his emotional state and ability to control body weight.
