Obesity is a complex and chronic health condition that affects both adults and children. At HealthHub Clinics in Dubai, our Endocrinology Department provides specialized, science-backed care for managing obesity and associated hormonal and metabolic concerns. With a focus on safe, medically supervised weight loss, we help patients reach their goals through individualized care plans, advanced diagnostics, and effective therapies like GLP-1 injectable medications. Whether you are managing weight due to hormonal imbalance, metabolic resistance, or lifestyle-related factors, our endocrinologists are here to guide your journey.
Obesity is defined as an excessive accumulation of body fat that can negatively impact health. It is most commonly measured using Body Mass Index (BMI). A BMI of 30 or above typically indicates obesity in adults, while children are assessed using percentile charts based on age and sex.
As a hormonal disorder, obesity often involves more than just excess weight. Endocrinological factors such as insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can significantly affect metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. Our endocrinologists assess these underlying contributors to provide a complete diagnosis and develop an effective strategy for long-term weight control.
