Obesity is a global health worry that affects north of 650 million adults worldwide. With another 1.6 billion who have pre-obesity/overweight, nearly 33% of the world's population is an unhealthy weight. Obesity is the most well-known persistent disease in the US with 42.4% of adults and 18.5% of youngsters under the age of 18 living with the disease. Additional 33% adults are classified as having pre-obesity/overweight, and that means that more than 75% of U.S. adults are an unhealthy weight. Considering that obesity leads to serious health conditions and abbreviates lifespan, clinicians in each clinical setting actually should discuss and address it with their patients. In any case, before clinicians can initiate useful discussions about obesity, they need a clear understanding of obesity - its causes, pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and treatment - and what it means for the health of their patients
