About Morbid Obesity in New Delhi
Morbid obesity is a severe form of obesity, generally defined as a body mass index of 40 or higher, or 35 or higher with significant obesity-related health complications, that substantially increases the risk of serious medical conditions and significantly impairs quality of life and daily functioning. It results from a complex interplay of genetic, behavioral, environmental, and metabolic factors that lead to excessive accumulation of body fat over time. Beyond its physical health impact, morbid obesity is strongly associated with diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, and joint problems, and often requires specialized medical or surgical intervention beyond diet and exercise alone.
