Obesity and Gallstone Disease: Epidemiology, Mechanisms, and Treatmen

View through CrossRef
Obesity and Gallstone Disease: Epidemiology, Mechanisms, and Treatment Introduction:Gallstone disease is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by the formation of stonesin the gallbladder or bile ducts. Obesity has long been recognized as a major risk factor for thedevelopment of gallstones. This article explores the epidemiology, mechanisms, and treatmentoptions related to the relationship between obesity and gallstone disease. Epidemiology: Obesityis a significant risk factor for gallstone disease, with multiple studies consistently demonstratingan increased prevalence of gallstones in individuals with obesity. The exact prevalence variesacross populations, but it is generally higher in individuals with obesity compared to those with anormal body weight. T
