Obesity Mangement
The prevalence of obesity in Australia has doubled in the past 20 years, making it one of the fattest nations in the world. Figures released in October 2013 by the National Health Reporting Authority report that a staggering 63 percent of Australians are overweight with 28 percent or 11 million adults falling into the obese category.
Among the biggest health threats obesity imposes are a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension).
South Sydney Vascular Centre takes a serious approach to obesity management to promote vascular health. Among our assessment and treatment protocols are:
- a medical evaluation of how your weight affects your vascular health shared with your physician
- recommendations and timeframes for achievable outcomes
- referrals for lifestyle assistance
- ongoing management in tandem with your doctor
