A study that appeared in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, medical publication with more than 80 years of life, announced in August 2007, that the mere fact of receiving a diagnosis of obesity is enough to find a plan of action to improve health, only to lose it a little weight, the obese person improves their quality of life and reduces its morbidity, which means you will have less need to receive medical attention and thus less spending on health, said Dr. Warren Thompson, a physician internist in the Department of Preventive Medicine in May.
The article reveals that the diagnosis of obesity is the most important means of prediction to control the disease. Mayo Clinic physicians evaluating the files of 2 thousand 543 obese patients treated for over a year.
After finding out that only one in five patients have reported obesity, the team prepared a plan to control the disease. The likelihood of weight in those patients diagnosed with obesity was 2.5 times greater if they had not received the diagnosis.
