Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease that leads to the development of secondary metabolic disturbances and diseases and strongly contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. On the other hand, musculoskeletal disorders are currently the main cause of disability and the second most frequent reason for visits to the doctor. Many studies clearly show that excessive body weight adversely affects the course of almost all musculoskeletal system diseases, from osteoarthritis, through metabolic, systemic connective tissue, to rarely diagnosed diseases. The impact of increased fat mass on the musculoskeletal system is presumably complex in nature and involves the influence of biomechanical, dietary, genetic, inflammatory and metabolic factors. Due to the epidemic nature of obesity and its serious health consequences, this disease requires energetic treatment. It is always based on lifestyle modification enriched, if necessary, by pharmacological and, in justified cases, surgical treatment.
