Abstract EN
Obesity has become a global epidemic over the past few decades because of unhealthy dietary habits and reduced physical activity.
Hypertension and diabetes are quite common among obese individuals and there is a linear relationship between the degree of obesity and these diseases.
Lifestyle interventions like dietary modifications and regular exercise are still important and safe first-line measures for treatment.
Recently, bariatric surgery has emerged as an important and very effective treatment option for obese individuals especially in those with comorbidities like hypertension and diabetes.
Though there are few effective drugs for the management of obesity, their efficacy is only modest, and they should always be combined with lifestyle interventions for optimal benefit.
In this paper we aim to outline the non-pharmacological measures for the management of hypertension and diabetes in obesity.
