At Clínica Terrace by Dr Mara Marques, we believe that weight management is one of the fundamental pillars for achieving and maintaining a healthy and balanced life. We understand that body weight goes far beyond the aesthetic component – it is a reflection of each person’s overall health, influenced by multiple factors, including biological, psychological, social and environmental aspects.
Our approach to weight management is person-centred and based on scientific evidence, taking into account the particularities of each case. We know that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, which is why we create personalised plans that combine clinical monitoring, nutritional advice, the promotion of healthy lifestyles and, whenever necessary, specialised psychological support.
"It is estimated that 1,13 billion people in the world will be living with obesity by 2030."
A Multifactorial Disease
Obesity is a chronic and relapsing disease that goes far beyond lifestyles. It is a multifactorial condition in which genetic, metabolic, social, psychological and environmental factors play crucial roles. This complex challenge requires a holistic and long-term approach to be managed effectively.
Although lifestyles are not the only determinants of obesity, they remain one of the fundamental pillars of its treatment. It’s not just about losing weight, but adopting a sustainable lifestyle that promotes health over time.
According to the World Obesity Federation’s World Obesity Atlas 2025, it is estimated that 1,13 billion people in the world will be living with obesity by 2030. This figure emphasises the urgent need for effective intervention and ongoing monitoring to prevent and treat this condition.
