What is obesity?
Obesity is an excessive increase in the amount of fat in the body in general. The main problem is that the energy taken, that is the food, is more than the spent. The energy that cannot be spent is stored as fat in our body. Obesity is rarely seen together with hormonal disorders. Patients who apply with complaints of obesity are also evaluated hormonally. Obesity patients that are not due to hormonal disorders should first be evaluated in terms of diet and lifestyle, and problems should be identified and corrected. Surgical treatment is recommended for patients who cannot achieve treatment success with these methods and who are thought to benefit from surgery. Obesity shortens a person's life expectancy by an average of 10 years and also negatively affects social and working life. According to the criteria of the World Association of Obesity Surgery, a body mass index of over 30kg/m2 is defined as obesity. This index is calculated by dividing body weight by the square of height. For example, for someone who is 170 centimeters tall and weighs 70 kilograms, we find 1.7 meters times 1.7 meters 2.89. 70 kg divided by 2.89 equals 24.22, which means it falls into the healthy weight group according to the table below. If the same person weighed 90 kilograms, we would find a result like 31 by calculating 90 kilograms divided by 2.89 and the person would be diagnosed as obese.
