Obesidad Mórbida
La obesidad mórbida es también conocida como la obesidad severa o una clase de la obesidad III. La gente se considera obesidad mórbida cuando su índice de masa corporal es superior a 40, o incluso 35 si el paciente tiene una enfermedad o discapacidad grave como resultado de tener sobrepeso. En muchos países es un problema de salud pública debido a los nuevos hábitos alimenticios de la sociedad.
La obesidad mórbida puede tratarse con una dieta baja en calorías y ejercicio regular. En casos extremos, los pacientes pueden someterse a cirugía bariátrica.
