CLINICAL DILEMMAS IN OBESITY MANAGEMENT • Robert B. Baron MD MS • Professor and Associate Dean • UCSF School of Medicine • Declaration of full disclosure: No conflict of interest
Case 1 • 50 year old woman, in good health, no history of cigarettes, in for check up. BMI 29. • Should you tell her she is overweight? • What further assessment and treatment should you begin?
CLASSIFICATION OF OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY BY BMI • Obesity Class BMI (kg/m2) Underweight <18.5 Normal 18.5 – 24.9 • Overweight 25.0 – 29.9 • Obesity I 30.0 – 34.9 • II 35.0 – 39.9 • Extreme Obesity III >40
BMI AND MORTALITY: Overall • Combined NHANES I, II, and III data set • BMI 25-59 y 60-69 y ≥70 y • <18.5 1.38 2.30 1.69 • 18.5-<25 1.00 1.00 1.00 • 25 to <30 0.83 0.95 0.91 • 30 to <35 1.20 1.13 1.03 • ≥35 1.83 1.63 1.17 Flegal, JAMA, 2005
An Office-Based Approach • Make the diagnosis (and communicate it) • Assess readiness for change • Prescribe diet and exercise • Consider medications and surgery
HEALTH PROFESSIONAL ADVICE AND WEIGHT LOSS • 12,835 adults, BMI over 30 kg/m2, check-up in last year • Random-digit, population-based sample, 50 states • 42% told by health professional to lose weight • Those told to lose weight more likely to report trying to lose weight: OR 2.79 (95% CI 2.53-3.08)
INTENTIONAL WEIGHT LOSS AND DEATH • Prospective CDC cohort study, 6391 adults, followed for 9 years • Those reporting intentional weight loss had 24% reduction in mortality • Those reporting unintentional weight loss had 31% higher mortality • Those reporting attempted but unsuccessful weight loss also had 20% reduction in mortality Gregg, Ann Int Med 2003
METABOLIC SYNDROME • Fulfill 3 or more criteria: • Waist: men > 102 cm ( > 40 in); women > 88 cm ( > 35 in) • HDL: men < 40; women < 50 • Triglycerides: ≥150 mg/dl • BP: ≥130/85 (or use of medications) • Fasting glucose: ≥110 mg/dl • ICD-9: 277.7 NCEP, JAMA 2001
GOALS OF MANAGEMENT • Be as fit as possible at current weight • Prevent further weight gain • If successful at 1 and 2, begin weight loss
Case 2 • 50 year old woman, in good health, in for check up. BMI 32 with metabolic syndrome. • She says, “ I have to lose weight, and I am planning on doing that. I am about to try the South Beach diet.”
DIET THERAPY • 48 RCT’S • Average weight loss 8% over 3-12 months

PRINCIPLES OF DRUG THERAPY • NIH: BMI > 30 kg/m2 or 27 kg/m2 with co-morbidity (but in practice almost never) • Motivated to begin structured exercise and low calorie diet • Begin medications at completion of one month successful diet and exercise • Continue medications only if additional weight loss achieved in first month with meds
