title: [Physiopathology, causes and complications of obesity].
abstract: Obesity is a chronic disease associated with respiratory, mechanical, cardiovascular, metabolic as well as psychological and social comorbidities. It has become increasingly prevalent over the last thirty years. The causes are multiple and interwoven, related to diet, sedentary lifestyles, psychological factors, genetics, the socio-economic context and biological factors. Management strategies must be adapted to the clinical situations and treatment must be individualised.
