In the United States there are approximately 130 million adults who are clinically overweight or obese. Obesity is associated with a considerable increase in the prevalence and mortality of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, gallbladder disease, and osteoarthritis. Significant reduction of obesity-related illnesses and risk factors can occur with even a modest (5-10%) reduction in weight.
Although diet, exercise and behavioral therapy can be effective, many patients fail to achieve significant long-term weight loss without supplemental pharmacotherapy.
