VIDEO | Prof. dr. Cătălin Copăescu: Persoanele care prezintă obezitate cad în capcana unor schimbări ale stilului de viață care au un impact minimal. Este o boală complexă, care trebuie investigată și tratată medical

Obesity should be treated as a complex disease requiring medical intervention, not just lifestyle changes, according to Dr. Cătălin Copăescu. Many individuals do not recognize their condition as a medical issue, which complicates treatment. Superficial advice often overlooks the biological mechanisms of obesity, leading to inadequate support for patients. Effective treatment must consider the multifactorial nature of obesity and aim for long-term health outcomes, rather than just weight loss. Surgical options should be evaluated based on individual medical situations, and lifestyle changes alone may not suffice for those already affected by obesity.
