Dermatologic Manifestations of Obesity: Part I Mechanical Causes
Journal Title: Journal of Obesity and Weight-loss Medication - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Over the past several decades, the proportion of Americans suffering from obesity has risen drastically. Accompanying this increase in obesity is a concomitant increase in many of the co-morbidities associated with obesity, many of which are seen less frequently in persons with normal body weight. Notably, there has been an increase in dermatologic conditions seen in this special patient population.
