Risk factors, such as gastroesophageal reflux and Helicobacter pylori, must be investigated and treated in obese population. After surgery, GC reports are anecdotal and treatment is not standardized. This review aims to discuss GC related to obesity before and after bariatric surgery.展开更多

It is therefore concluded that acupuncture and moxibustion is a good therapy for obtaining a graceful body shape.展开更多

Both diabetes and overweight/obesity have become major public health problems causing increased morbidity and mortality and are important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in China. Excess weight has been shown to be associated with increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome and certain cancers; while weight loss dramatically reduces these obesity-related diseases. Overweight and obesity are important modifiable risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. There has also been encouraging progress in treatments for obesity. In 2013, the American Medical Association declared obesity a ＂disease state＂ requiring a range of medical interventions to advance obesity treatment and prevention. Since 2012, four new drugs have been approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of obesity.展开更多
