Abstract

Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease that has become one of the leading causes of disability and death in the world, affecting not only adults but also children and adolescents. In Iraq, one third of the adult population is overweight and another third obese. Clinical diagnosis is accomplished by measuring body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (a marker for intra-visceral fat and higher metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk). A complex interaction between behavioral, social (rapid urbanization), environmental and genetic factors underlies the etiology of the disease. Treatment options for obesity may include a multicomponent approach, involving dietary changes to reduce calorie intake, an increase in physical activity, behavioral modification, pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery. The purpose for these recommendations is to develop a management plan and standards of care that are relevant to the Iraqi population and that can prevent/manage obesity and obesity-related complications, for the promotion of a healthy community.

预防和管理伊拉克人口肥胖的建议。
肥胖是一种慢性代谢性疾病,已成为世界上导致残疾和死亡的主要原因之一,不仅影响成年人,而且影响儿童和青少年。在伊拉克,三分之一的成年人超重,还有三分之一的人肥胖。临床诊断是通过测量身体质量指数(BMI)和腰围(内脏脂肪和更高的代谢和心血管疾病风险的标志)来完成的。行为、社会(快速城市化)、环境和遗传因素之间复杂的相互作用是该病病因的基础。肥胖的治疗方案可能包括多种方法,包括改变饮食以减少热量摄入、增加体育活动、行为改变、药物治疗和减肥手术。这些建议的目的是制定一项与伊拉克人口有关的管理计划和护理标准,以预防/管理肥胖和与肥胖有关的并发症,促进一个健康的社区。

期刊介绍: Postgraduate Medicine is a rapid peer-reviewed medical journal published for physicians. Tracing its roots back to 1916,  Postgraduate Medicine  was established by Charles Mayo, MD, as a peer-to-peer method of communicating the latest research to aid physicians when making treatment decisions, and it maintains that aim to this day. In addition to its core subscriber base, Postgraduate Medicine is distributed to hundreds of US-based physicians within internal medicine and family practice.
