Complicaciones de la obesidad Complications of obesity

Obesity, which was evaluated positively in our culture in past periods and which was even considered by some to be merely an aesthetic question, is a disease with serious consequences for the health of the person suffering from it, and for the economy of those who have to meet its costs. Its present prevalence in Spain is situated around 13% and, if we can trust the forecasts established for other western countries such as the USA, it will increase to become the epidemic of the present century.
