摘要

The obesity treatment landscape has changed markedly in the past few years following the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of several highly effective obesity medications. This Perspective piece advocates for a strong focus on advancing person-centered, evidence-based obesity care at this exciting time—a time when perhaps more patients than ever before are expressing interest in obesity treatment—in order to capitalize on these innovations and ensure high-quality, compassionate, impactful patient care. Recognizing the pivotal role that clinicians play in partnering with patients to develop treatment plans, we highlight four key principles that can support clinicians’ efforts in advancing these goals: (1) bias-free care, (2) education, (3) autonomy, and (4) access to care. While the obesity field is rapidly changing and both patients and providers may find it difficult to navigate treatment decisions at times, we believe that anchoring care in a person-centered, evidence-based approach may prove beneficial for all involved.
