Treating overweight and obesity (adiposity) at JUVENIS in Vienna

An excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in the body is referred to as obesity (adiposity). It occurs when energy intake, primarily through a high-fat diet, consistently exceeds energy expenditure. Untreated obesity can lead to secondary diseases and reduce life expectancy. Therefore, the JUVENIS medical center in Vienna offers examinations and treatments for overweight and obesity.

Examination and treatment of overweight and obesity (adiposity)

The Body Mass Index (BMI) serves as a measure for overweight. If the BMI is between 25 and 30 kg/m², you are considered overweight. If the value is higher than 30 kg/m², it is referred to as obesity (adiposity). There are several triggers for this:

  • Low-fiber, high-fat and high-carbohydrate (over)nutrition

  • Physical inactivity

  • Mental stress (stress, depression)

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Disease-related (hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, brain tumors)

Please contact JUVENIS by phone at +43 1 236 3020, by e-mail at empfang@juvenismed.at or via the contact form, to arrange a consultation or treatment appointment.

Genetic predisposition alone does not make you obese. It is usually an interplay of predisposition and lifestyle habits that leads to a positive energy balance and ultimately to obesity.
