Obesity is the accumulation of fatty deposits in the human body. It has become a public health problem worldwide, affecting all social classes. There is an estimated 1 billion overweight people worldwide, 300 million of whom are already obese, and by 2025 these figures could multiply.

That is why every obese patient has a short life expectancy, since the long-term success rate is low and, usually, the weight loss is regained in a short time so that the comorbidities associated with it reappear.
