van Wayenburga C AM et al. - The objective of this study was to compare the frequency of encounter for episodes of the 10 most common illnesses in general practice between obese and non-overweight patients. Findings show that obese patients present more common illnesses to their GP, such as common cold (without fever), myalgia of the upper girdle, dermatophytosis and bruise (contusion, haematoma). This is in addition to their higher co-morbidity of chronic medical conditions.
