Few people with a problem weight gain a plan to treat obesity, despite the proven benefits of losing even a minimal amount of weight. In New York, more than 2,500 cases of obesity have been investigated, with only about 500 documented. They also had a higher frequency of prescribed diet and physical activity.
It has been found that men, especially the elderly, are most often not reflected in medical records. The latter is mainly present in obese patients, those with diabetes mellitus or obstructive sleep apnea.
