title: [Obesity. Various aspects in daily practice].
abstract: Overweight and obesity are the most often encountered disease conditions in general practice. Recent evidence of the importance of fat distribution is discussed. The basic therapeutic approach for the most effective therapy of obesity is probably the combination of a dietary (hypocaloric), a behavioral and a physical activity approach. In this general overview the physiologic background of abdominal obesity and some selected therapeutic implications are discussed.
