The pandemic of obesity has become a major health problem, leading to serious diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke, cancer, psychological problems, and a poor quality of life. Managing Obesity is a book for non-specialists that provides an overview of the causes, mechanisms, and health issues associated with obesity, as well as advanced pharmacotherapy and surgery options for managing it.

The pandemic of obesity, a widespread health concern in many countries worldwide, has emerged as a significant concern. This condition not only leads to a range of severe diseases but also impairs psychological well-being, reduces quality of life, and places a substantial burden on healthcare systems. Obesity impacts various aspects of medicine and clinical practice, exerting a substantial strain on healthcare resources.

To address this pressing issue, Managing Obesity has been specifically crafted for non-specialists, such as general practitioners (GPs), junior doctors, and medical students, who are increasingly responsible for treating obese patients. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the causes of obesity, the mechanisms that contribute to its development, and the health complications associated with it.

Subsequent chapters delve into effective management strategies for obesity, encompassing advanced pharmacotherapy options and surgical interventions. The authors aim to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively handle obesity cases, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

By addressing obesity from various perspectives and offering comprehensive management approaches, Managing Obesity serves as a valuable resource for healthcare practitioners seeking to improve the care they provide to obese individuals.
