Obesity is a chronic, progressive, relapsing, multifactorial disease resulting in metabolic and biomechanical morbidities and premature mortality, and its prevalence has risen to unacceptable levels in the United States and worldwide. Healthy diet, exercise, and behavioral interventions are crucial components of management but are largely unsuccessful in achieving and maintaining weight reduction sufficient to reduce morbidities and prevent premature mortality because the chronic neuroendocrine disease of obesity remains unaddressed.

Obesity currently affects more than 41% of adults in the United States. It is a complex and chronic medical condition that is often associated with reduced quality of life in the absence of appropriate care and the development of diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and other comorbidities. Once considered a condition caused by poor eating habits and lack of self-control or will power, obesity is now recognized as a disease that calls for long-term medical management and often requires pharmacotherapeutic intervention for adequate weight control.
