Abstract
Due to the high prevalence of
type 2 diabetes mellitus, it has become a global health problem. Currently, the
involvement of obesity is recognized as the most important risk factor for its
development, taking into account that even in patients with normal weight, a
high percentage of body fat can be found. Changes in dietary hygienic habits
are interventions aimed at prevention and treatment. The choice of
pharmacological treatment should take into account the control of the
muscle/fat ratio in the control of body weight. Bariatric surgery is indicated
in patients with a BMI > 35 kg/m2 with associated risk factors, highlighting
the partial remission that occurs after the procedure, with long-term studies
of its beneficial effect being necessary. Due to the importance of these pathologies,
the subject is reviewed.
