Bariatric Patients in Australia

In the tracking period of 2014-2015, 11.2 million Australians aged 18 and over were classified as overweight or obese. The staggering number indicates that more than half of the Australian adult population are prone to possible health and safety issues. People with morbid obesity, in particular, can suffer from disrupted physical functions, such as breathing and walking, leading to potential trips and falls. The injuries sustained from such circumstances can cause greater health issues for bariatric patients.
