The emerging obesity epidemic and accompanying health consequences led The Obesity Society (TOS) in 2008 to publish a position paper defining obesity as a disease. Since then, new information has emerged on the underlying mechanisms leading to excess adiposity and the associated structural, cardiometabolic, and functional disturbances. This report presents the updated TOS 2018 position statement on obesity as a noncommunicable chronic disease.
新兴的肥胖症流行及其伴随的健康后果促使肥胖学会(TOS)在 2008 年发表了一份立场文件,将肥胖定义为一种疾病。此后,关于导致肥胖的潜在机制以及相关的结构、心血管代谢和功能障碍的新信息不断涌现。本报告介绍了肥胖作为一种非传染性慢性疾病的 TOS 2018 年更新立场声明。
