Abstract

Studying the metabolic health of population around the world is becoming a priority area of modern medicine. This is associated with an increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity, which leads to a significant increase in related metabolic diseases, which are actually complications of obesity, primarily visceral. According to 2019 data, overweight and obesity are associated with 5 million deaths and 160 million disability-adjusted life years, more than half of which are due to cardiovascular diseases. This challenge requires the development of cardiometabolic medicine and the training of new specialists.
