Obesity is the Epidemic of the XXI Century, the so called GLOBESITY. Since 1980 obesity has doubled in the world. In Spain more than half of the population is overweight, and almost 20% are obese. Studies on future predictions warn of a SIGNIFICANT INCREASE in these figures across Europe, with alarming rates of 70% prevalence of overweight and nearly a third of obese patients. But in some countries such as Ireland, it is expected even 90% overweight and 60% obese population.
The association of OBESITY and DIABETES is so intense that has emerged the concept of DIABESITY, who have nearly 400 million people worldwide.
