Abstract:

Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased worldwide over the past four decades, including in Austria. Obesity poses significant challenges for patients, healthcare professionals and the healthcare system. To date, Austria's healthcare system is primarily focused on hospitalisation and less in disease prevention. The rising obesity prevalence in the general population may lead to more obese patients in the hospital setting. This master thesis aims to describe the prevalence of obesity in patients treated at secondary and tertiary hospitals in Austria and to show differences by gender, age groups, medical diagnoses, and care dependency.
