Description
Jennifer Redondo-Antón and co-authors gather in 2026 what is known about the impact of adult obesity in Spain. Spain has some of the highest obesity rates in Europe, yet the full picture had not been pulled together in one place. The team searched two large databases for studies from 2018 to 2025 and kept fifty-three.
Reported obesity rates ranged widely, from about a quarter to a third of patients in primary care, and lower in general population studies. High blood pressure, blood fat problems, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease were the most common linked conditions. People with obesity reported lower quality of life, and the money cost was high, falling as weight fell. Stigma, mental health, funding, and wrong beliefs all blocked good care. The authors urge early prevention and shared decisions, with obesity treated as a long-term disease.
