Obesity as a Chronic Disease: Why Lifestyle Modification Often Fails
In this 30-minute podcast, expert faculty will discuss the concept of obesity as a chronic disease. They will consider the disease burden of obesity, including adiposity-related diseases and conditions, and will examine the evidence supporting the benefits of sustained weight loss, the pathophysiology of obesity and weight regain, and the shortcomings of lifestyle modifications alone in long-term weight management.
