Obesity is a chronic, progressive disease with a multifactorial etiology and diverse clinical manifestations, characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in the human body. Key factors contributing to the development of metabolic syndrome primarily include changes in dietary patterns—namely, increased consumption of high-calorie processed foods and fast food—as well as physical inactivity, which is typical of the modern lifestyle.
In order to prevent the adverse consequences of obesity and to achieve more rapid weight reduction, modern medicine offers the use of bariatric surgical methods. This review article presents an analysis of the outcomes of contemporary bariatric surgical interventions, and also considers alternative perspectives on the causes of obesity and possible approaches to managing this chronic progressive condition.
