Adipositas
The Adipositas Centre at the Wilhelmsburg Groß-Sand Hospital specialises in lastingly effective therapy concepts for weight reduction. As adipositas, that is to say being extremely overweight, does not only concern a few fatty deposits, but a general health problem which can have drastic consequences in the long-term. Extreme overweight is considered to be a risk factor for heart diseases, high blood pressure, strokes, arteriosclerosis, diabetes Type 2, gout, gall stones, thrombosis, some tumour illnesses, joint damages, sleep apnoea syndrome, complications in pregnancy and psychological illnesses.
Experts estimate that every third adult in Germany is affected by extreme overweight. The Adipositas Centre comes to grips with this wide-spread illness by way of various programmes and a high level of competence. The Wilhelmsburg Adipositas Centre specialises in the Optifast programme for groups and individual consultation. Participants in the programme are cared for across all specialist fields by nutritionists, doctors, psychologists and physiotherapists.
