The problem of the health status of people suffering from overweight is becoming more and more urgent. Socio-economic preconditions of the last decade have led to the fact that the number of obese people has been steadily increasing from year to year, amounting to 60% of the adult
population [1]. Obesity is a biological phenomenon characterized by an increase in the mass of adipose tissue throughout the body, with its predominant localization in the subcutaneous tissue. A number of experts believe that obesity is considered already a slight excess of the
actual body weight over the ideal, others argue that this excess, to be considered obesity,
should be 10-20%, and among females – 30% [1; eight; nine].
