Why obesity deserves medical care

Body mass index is an imperfect screening tool, but it can help identify risk when considered with waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, symptoms and health history. Even modest, maintained weight reduction can improve selected health markers.

Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes risk
High blood pressure and abnormal cholesterol
Obstructive sleep apnea
Joint pain and mobility limits
Fatty liver and cardiovascular risk

Treatment should match the person

Some patients do well with structured nutrition and behavior support; others may benefit from anti-obesity medication, meal replacements, sleep treatment or referral for bariatric surgery. A clinician should review benefits, risks and alternatives.

Start without stigma

Weight history is not a character test. W8MD’s approach focuses on appetite, health, habits, barriers and maintenance rather than shame or unrealistic promises.
