Ожирение и заболевания глаз

Obesity has emerged as one of the most important global health challenges of the 21st century, with increasing prevalence across both developed and developing regions. In 2014, obesity was more prevalent than underweight among men in 136 of 200 countries and among women in 165 countries [¹]. More recent data indicate that obesity remains highly prevalent among adults and is also increasing among children and adolescents [²,³,⁴]. These trends are clinically important because obesity is associated not only with cardiovascular and metabolic disorders but also with chronic systemic inflammation, hormonal dysregulation, insulin resistance, and altered lipid metabolism.
