Definición

  • Obesity rates are increasing worldwide and are becoming especially pronounced in developed Western countries. While the consequences of obesity on metabolic and cardiovascular physiology are well established, epidemiological and experimental data are beginning to establish that the central nervous system, and the brain in particular, may also be damaged by obesity and obesity-induced changes in metabolic physiology.
