bariatrics

Bariatrics is a branch of medicine focused on the treatment of obesity and related health conditions. It involves a combination of approaches such as lifestyle changes, diet modification, behavioral therapy, and medical or surgical interventions like weight-loss surgery. The goal is to help individuals achieve significant and sustainable weight loss to improve overall health and reduce risks of diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Bariatric care is personalized, addressing both physical and psychological aspects of obesity, and often requires multidisciplinary support for lasting success.
