This is a recorded session from the SGIM 2025 Annual Meeting in Florida.
Recent estimates suggest over 45% of US adults have obesity, with highest rates among marginalized groups. Adults with obesity are 2-3 times more likely to have multi-morbidity, leading to increased healthcare utilization among patients in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. It is essential for providers and researchers remain up-to-date on this most prevalent chronic disease. Presenters provide updates from seminal articles from the past year in these categories: endoscopic and surgical procedures, lifestyle treatment and counseling, medical education, and obesity-related policy concerns.
- Identify risks and benefits of the latest pharmacotherapies for obesity, and effectively counsel patients on available options for treatment
- Discuss the latest findings and recommendations on lifestyle treatment, including diet and physical activity
- Explore available tools for obesity treatment and identify opportunities to incorporate the latest evidence into clinical practice structure, including examples of advocacy for insurance coverage
