چکیده
Obesity was identified as a disease thirty years ago when, the WHO listed obesity as a disease condition in its International Classification of Diseases in 1979. The prevalence of obesity, and especially of morbid obesity, is increasing worldwide and it is today becoming a significant health hazard. Indeed, obesity rates have now reached epidemic proportions in the western hemisphere, with over 25 % of the population being obese in US and 15 % in Europe [1]. A similar pattern of increasing degrees of obesity has been demonstrated in the pediatric population. Overweight children and adolescents have a higher risk of becoming obese adults.
