CLINICAL MANAGEMENT OF OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY G...

These guidelines make recommendations regarding the management of individuals with a body mass
index greater than 25.0 kg m2 and cover all age groups  from children to the elderly  as well
as various patient subsets. A range of measures to yield health benefits are set out  including
healthy eating plans  increased physical activity  and behavioral modifications to help
patients to manage obesity. In addition  recommendations are made on the use of bariatric
surgery and the new antiobesity drugs. Throughout the process of developing the recommendations
every attempt was made to ensure use of a rigorous  evidence-based approach. The guidelines are
promoted by the Italian Society of Obesity (SIO) and were formulated in compliance with a
prespecified process overseen by a steering committee. They are intended for use by a wide
range of clinicians  including general practitioners  primary health care nurses  and primary
health care professionals  and will hopefully prove of value in combating the obesity epidemic
not only in Italy but across Europe and elsewhere in the world.
