摘要

Introduction

Obesity is a global health crisis affecting developing nations, including India. The management of obesity continues to evolve with newer drugs, metabolic and bariatric surgery and endoscopic interventions, requiring family physicians and specialists to adapt their clinical practice accordingly. There is an urgent need for a standardized algorithm to diagnose, stage, and treat obesity.

Methods

The Endocrine Society of India (ESI) and the Obesity Surgeons Society of India (OSSI) appointed a steering committee to develop an evidence-based algorithm for managing patients with obesity in India. This was put to vote by 80 specialists (38 from OSSI and 42 from ESI) in a physical meeting.

Results

A proposed stage-wise algorithm based on Edmonton Obesity Staging System, Asian definition of obesity, and resources in India, received 100% consensus.

Conclusion

This algorithm may help the physicians and specialists in India to manage patients with obesity in a uniform and practical manner and also help choose adjuncts – medical or surgical.
