Year 2017, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 98 - 101, 01.08.2017

Abstract

Obezite vücutta yağ dokusunun artması ile karakterize, kronik hastalıklara zemin hazırlayan, kişinin yaşam kalitesini etkileyen önemli
bir sağlık problemidir. Dünyada ve ülkemizde prevelansı gittikçe artmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda obezite nedeniyle polikliniğimize
başvuran 16 yaşındaki erkek hastanın 8 aylık takibi sonucunda meydana gelen fiziksel, metabolik değişiklikleri; depresif belirti düzeyi ve
benlik saygısındaki değişiklikleri göstermeyi hedefledik. Kilo kaybı ile birlikte hastada yağ dokusunda, insulin direncinde ve kolesterol
seviyesinde azalma saptandı; ve ayrıca 8 ay öncekine kıyasla depresif belirti puanları düşük ve benlik saygısı düzeyi yüksek olarak
ölçüldü. Obezitenin önlenmesi veya tedavi edilmesinin hastaların fiziksel ve ruhsal sağlığı açısından önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
