RESUMEN
A pesar de los avances en el conocimiento clinicoepidemiológico de la obesidad, la prevalencia de esta ha aumentado significativamente, y su prevención y tratamiento continúa siendo un reto para los profesionales de la salud. Actualmente se considera que el control del balance energético se basa en un sistema de retroalimentación, cuyo objetivo es mantener los depósitos energéticos estables, a fin de lograr, con la disminución de peso, importantes beneficios en términos de salud y calidad de vida. En el presente trabajo se exponen algunas consideraciones relacionadas con la etiopatogenia de la obesidad y la importancia de la reducción de peso en los pacientes obesos.
