Non-pharmacologic Interventions for Overweight and Obesity
摘要
Overweight and obesity are epidemics in the United States. As excessive adipose tissue is primarily a result of excessive caloric intake and insufficient caloric expenditure, intensive therapeutic lifestyle interventions and behavior modifications are the backbone of prevention and treatment. This chapter outlines non-pharmacologic interventions such as dietary patterns, physical activity, behavioral interventions, sleep health, and bariatric surgery that should be implemented in all adults with excessive weight.
