Obesity is a complex health disorder that affects huge amount of people. In recent years, the number of overweight people in industrialized countries has increased significantly and people who are obese are at a much higher risk for serious medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and diabetes. Considering the importance of the medication of obesity, knowledge discovery from online patient reviews is performed.
