Psychosocial and other adverse health impact of Obesity | AIG Hospitals

Globally, obesity is responsible for approximately 2.8 million deaths. In India alone, over 135 million people are affected by obesity which can be attributed to the consumption of high-energy foods, sedentary lifestyle among others. Obesity negatively impacts wellbeing and can cause issues from head to toe. Numerous studies have shown that obesity is directly responsible for diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and numerous other conditions such as liver cirrhosis, gastroparesis, constipation, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

At AIG Hospitals, we have a dedicated Centre of Obesity & Metabolic Sciences where we focus on lifestyle modifications to give our obese patients a good quality of life.
