Abstract:
In 2016, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists(AACE) published the guidelines for obesity and defined obesity as an adiposity-based chronic disease and obesity should be managed according to the obesity-related complications (16 complications are listed). Obesity intervention should be transferred from the purpose of weight loss to the intervention of metabolic disorder and its complications. The diagnosis and intervention of obesity in this guideline is sub- classified focus on the gender, region, and combined diseases, which is with more practical and scientific significances. This interpretation is expected to help the professional medical staffs to understand the new strategy in obesity therapy and to combine with the real world and clinical experience. New suggestions should put forward and improve the theories.
