Abstract:
Obesity has become a chronic non-communicable disease that seriously endangers human health,with nearly half of adults in China suffering from overweight or obesity.Body mass index as the most commonly used measure of obesity in clinical practice,can be used to screen for obesity but cannot define diseases or guide clinical decision-making,and has certain limitations.This article introduces a new obesity staging system:the Edmonton Obesity Staging System,and reviews its applications in bariatric surgeryand other fields,in order to provide effective means for accurate diagnosis and treatment of obese patients.
