Conventionally, the prevalence of morbid obesity was considered to be predominant in urban (rich) population vs rural (poor). However, the recent report published in the National Daily1 has revealed startling figures – the prevalence of morbid obesity in rural India is to the extent of 22.5% as against 45.6% in urban Indian population. This fact leads to an alarming scenario that even a minor increase in the prevalence of morbid obesity amongst rural India can lead to a massive increase in the number of obese individuals at the National level. It is worth to note that the factors responsible for obesity in urban as well as the rural population are the same. The fast-changing lifestyles, blurring boundaries & increasing urbanisation has had its ill effect on these high numbers in our country.
The increasing prevalence of morbid obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, coupled with growing awareness and preference towards minimally invasive surgery, are the key factors driving the growing demand for Laparoscopic Bariatric, Metabolic Surgery procedures across the globe.
If we focus on India, the increasing access to the advanced technology devices for the surgical procedure in almost all the leading healthcare institutes has also had a positive influence on more eligible candidates opting to undergo Laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
