Person Centered Approach and Challenges in the Management of Obesity
摘要
Obesity is a chronic health condition and the management approach generally involves changes in lifestyle and use of pharmacotherapy over long periods. Lifestyle modifications including diet changes and physical activity are the cornerstone of management of obesity. Pharmacological management of obesity is recommended in individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥30 kg/m2 (obese) or a BMI of ≥27 kg/m2 (overweight) with at least one bodyweight-related co-morbidity [1].
