Although health practitioners traditionally have not been trained in the medical management of obesity, they attain expertise in the treatment of its comorbidities—those conditions associated with, exacerbated by, or even caused by obesity, such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, degenerative joint disease, cancers (endometrium, colon, renal cell, breast, and prostate), gout, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), polycystic ovary (PCO) syndrome, and other gynecologic conditions (Table 2-1). |
