Current Issues Regarding Obesity Treatment and Chronic Weight Management
| Overview / Abstract: |
Obesity experts Drs. Apovian and Kushner delve into the complex and undertreated disease of obesity, addressing the importance of weight loss and chronic weight management. They discuss obesity as a chronic disease with its pathophysiologic basis, associated cardiometabolic risks, treatment options including pharmacotherapy, focusing on incretin-based medications, optimizing weight loss and maintenance, and how to approach patients about obesity. Case studies are utilized in which the faculty share their experiences to individualize patient management so as to improve long-term weight-related health outcomes. |
