15 NHLBI Obesity Algorithm Guidelines for Selecting Obesity Treatment Treatment Diet, PA, & Behavioral Therapy With comorbidities BMI Category With comorbidities Pharmacotherapy Weight Loss Surgery With comorbidities With comorbidities Prevention of weight gain with lifestyle therapy is indicated in any patient with a BMI 25 kg/m2, even without comorbidities, while weight loss is not necessarily recommended for those with a BMI of kg/m2 or a high waist circumference, unless they have two or more comorbidities. Consider pharmacotherapy only if a patient has not lost 1 pound per week after 6 months of combined lifestyle therapy. The + represents the use of indicated treatment regardless of comorbidities. Dietary Guidelines for Americans-2010 Reduce Na+ intake to <2,300 mg & further to 1500 mg if >51 YO, AA, have HTN, DM, or CKD Consume < 10% of calories from saturated fatty acids Replace with mono/polyunsaturated fats Consume <300 mg per day of dietary cholesterol Keep trans fatty acid consumption as low as possible Reduce intake of calories from solid fats and added sugars Limit the consumption of foods that contain refined grains Alcohol consumption in moderation (no more than 1 drink for women, 2 drinks per men daily) MA ACP Annual Scientific Meeting 15

20 Conclusion Obesity is multifactorial disease process Conventional weight loss consisting of diet and exercise should be 1 st line Primary care physicians should consider options such as pharmacotherapy and/or bariatric surgery as an option for appropriate patients Patients should be considered to a tertiary referral if their care becomes challenging in the primary care setting Thank you for your time!
