Overview
Obesity is a medical condition with many causes, including genetics, hormones, sleep, stress, medicines and lifestyle. Dr. Joshi has studied the Asian Indian phenotype, often called "thin-fat", where body fat and health risk can be high even at a modest body weight.
Care therefore looks beyond the number on the scale to waist size, body composition and related conditions such as diabetes and blood pressure.
