Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, multi-factorial disease characterized by abnormal or excessive adipose tissue accumulation that may impair health and increase disease risks. Despite the ever-increasing prevalence and economic and societal burden, the current approaches to treat obesity are not standardized or generally effective. In this manuscript, we describe a current working paradigm developed by a consensus approach for the multidisciplinary treatment of obesity in the GI practice. Obesity should be managed as a continuum of care focusing on weight loss, weight loss maintenance and prevention of weight regain. This approach needs to be disseminated throughout the health care system, coordinated by a multidisciplinary team and include gastroenterologists who are in a unique position to address obesity. Gastroenterologists are in the front line of managing the morbidity resulting from obesity, and have expertise in use of the essential tools to manage obesity: nutrition, pharmacology, endoscopy and surgery.
肥胖是一种慢性、复发性、多因素疾病,其特征是异常或过度的脂肪组织堆积,可能损害健康并增加疾病风险。尽管肥胖的患病率、经济和社会负担不断增加,但目前治疗肥胖的方法并不规范,也普遍效果不佳。在本手稿中,我们描述了一种通过共识方法制定的当前工作模式,用于胃肠病学实践中肥胖的多学科治疗。肥胖应作为一个连续的护理过程来管理,重点是体重减轻、体重减轻维持和预防体重反弹。这种方法需要在整个医疗保健系统中传播,由多学科团队协调,并包括处于独特地位来解决肥胖问题的胃肠病学家。胃肠病学家处于管理肥胖所致发病率的第一线,并且在使用管理肥胖的基本工具方面具有专业知识:营养、药理学、内窥镜检查和手术。
