Abstract
This article summarizes and compares 18 sets of guidelines for adult obesity treatment, highlighting key recommendations for patient evaluation, lifestyle intervention, anti-obesity medications (AOMs), and metabolic and bariatric surgery. Guidelines are consistent in many regards, although there is divergence regarding preferred AOMs. Metabolic and bariatric surgery is still recognized as the most durable form of obesity treatment, and newer guidelines suggest these procedures at lower BMI thresholds for people with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. Overall, guidelines for obesity treatment show a high degree of agreement, although updates are needed to incorporate new treatment innovations.
