Abstract

Obesity is a worldwide chronic, complex, and progressive disease that poses a challenge for physicians to pursue optimal therapeutic decision making. This chapter focuses on the definition of obesity, based on excessive fat accumulation, and thus underscores the importance of body composition, and the clinical tools used to diagnose it in the context of excess weight, metabolic alteration, and obesity-associated comorbidity development. Additionally, it addresses the indications for surgery that are currently applicable and the description of the different types of patients who could benefit the most from the surgical management of excessive body fat and its associated metabolic derangements and quality of life improvement. Furthermore, it also highlights plausible underlying mechanisms of action for the beneficial effects following bariatric/metabolic surgery.

Keywords: Adiposity; Bariatric surgery; Body composition; Candidate; Comorbidities; Detailed phenotyping; Fat-free mass; Indications; Metabolic surgery.
