Obesity is a chronic health condition associated with an excessive accumulation of body fat that may negatively affect overall health. Measures such as body mass index may be used as part of an assessment, but individual health status and risk factors should also be considered.
The development of obesity can be influenced by a combination of genetic factors, dietary habits, physical activity, hormonal or metabolic conditions and environmental influences.
Treatment varies according to the individual and may include lifestyle changes, nutritional support, medical treatment or, for suitable patients, surgical options. The appropriate approach must be determined following an individual assessment by qualified medical professionals and licensed healthcare providers.
MedicaTour supports international patients researching obesity treatment options in Turkey by facilitating communication with healthcare providers and coordinating medical travel. MedicaTour does not directly provide diagnosis or treatment.
