Overview: Treatment of an overweight or obese person incorporates a two-step process: assessment and management. Assessment includes determination of the degree of obesity and overall health status. Management involves not only weight loss and maintenance of body weight but also measures to control other risk factors. Obesity is a chronic disease; patient and practitioner must understand that successful treatment requires a lifelong effort. Convincing evidence supports the benefit of weight loss for reducing blood pressure, lowering blood glucose, and improving dyslipidemias.
