摘要

Obesity is recognized as a main problem that increases morbidity and mortality, and international health organizations, such as WHO and IOTF, have labelled obesity as an epidemic-scale disease. the data supporting this claim is reflected in the fact that in 2016, even 1.9 billion adults were overweight and 650 million suffered from obesity, that represents 39% of overweight and 13% of obese on the level of the entire world adult population (1). If you compare these data with previous, the same source indicated this modern disease has nearly tripled since 1975 and, both theory and practice must deal with it urgently.
