Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is a significant health concern in individuals with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), a rare genetic condition characterized by insatiable appetite. This study aims to address obesity in PWS, understanding the management strategies and their impact on the health of these patients. Objectives: The objective of this research is to evaluate therapeutic approaches and their outcomes in the treatment of obesity in individuals with Prader-Willi Syndrome. Additionally, we seek to understand how these interventions affect the overall quality of life and health of the patients. Methodology: A comprehensive review of medical literature related to obesity in Prader-Willi Syndrome was conducted. Clinical studies, systematic reviews, and case reports describing dietary, behavioral, and medical interventions used in the treatment of obesity in PWS patients were analyzed. Results: The results underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of obesity in Prader-Willi Syndrome. Restrictive dietary interventions, regular medical monitoring and adapted physical activity have proven effective in weight management. Furthermore, early intervention plays a crucial role in the successful management of obesity. Conclusion: Obesity in Prader-Willi Syndrome presents a complex challenge, but with the right approach, positive outcomes are achievable. Personalized treatment, taking into consideration the individual needs of each patient, is essential. Managing obesity in PWS not only improves physical health but also contributes to enhancing the quality of life for these individuals and their families.
