Abstract:
In recent years, with the continuous increase in the prevalence of obesity, China has become the country with the largest number of people with obesity in the world. Obesity can cause a variety of comorbidities, which not only seriously affects the physical and mental health of the individual, but also represents a social and economic burden. Therefore, the prevention and control of obesity are imperative. At present, there are many challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of obesity in China, further research and treatment strategies are needed urgently. A move towards centralized management of obesity is a likely future trend given the increasing use of a multidisciplinary, individualized approach to diagnosis and treatment, and the use of intelligent systems and technologies.
