Abstract

The prevalence of obesity and overweight is rising among adults and children. Ample evidence indicates that weight loss, even if moderate, can improve health status and lessen the incidence of obesity-related disease. A variety of treatments are available to deal with the condition. However, no matter what therapy is chosen, the patient must be aware that success may depend on adherence and follow-up with a health care practitioner.
