The underlying mechanisms of exogenous-constitutional obesity origin and progression are discussed, as well as the methods of non-drug treatment (diet therapy, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, reflexotherapy), a limited role of pharmacotherapy, and a specific place of surgical correction. An important role of preventing the exogenous-constitutional obesity recurrence, the incidence of which is very high, is emphasized.
