Obesity is a complex disease due to the interaction between genetic, psychological, and environmental determinants. Sadly, implementing into practice research results is frequently difficult. Many are the obstacles: medical habits, the peculiar organization of the National health service centred on acute diseases treatment, the prevalent narrative of obesity as an aesthetic issue rather than a medical one.
