Abstract
An important observation is the fact that overweight and obesity (obesity being in 1997 by World Health Organization recognised as a chronic disease which has to be healed) have reached epidemic extensions and represent an important social and economic burden for the countries as well as for many individuals. They also represent a risk factor for developing several chronic diseases and consequently serious health complications. In the paper a description organization is presented enabling the coexistence of different models indicating several problem levels and so giving the estimation of overweight and obese population, connections with other diseases or risk factors and estimation of economic burden as well as the possible consequences of healing interventions. Special attention is devoted to the efficacy of open and close ? loop weight control at the level of individual patient and the potential consequences to the observed population.
