It is commonly accepted that obesity is a health hazard associated with complications such as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (Type 2 diabetes), dyslipidemias, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases(1–5). On the basis of its increasing prevalence in affluent countries(6–8), obesity is considered as a major cause of morbidity and mortality which makes a major contribution to our health care expenditures(9). Overall, excess weight is related to an increased mortality rate both from cardiovascular diseases and other causes(2–5,10,11).
