Abstract

Background: The prevalence of overweight, obesity and related complications is increasing rapidly in the world. Also, treating this disease in the presence or absence of co-morbidities has become a challenge. In this article, based on the clinical recommendations of the American Endocrinology Association and the American College of Endocrinology, a comprehensive clinical guide has been written for the stages of treating obese patients and its individualization, and it has been tried to be adjusted as much as possible based on the conditions in Iran. Methods: with a specific search strategy, a complete search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, EMBASE and Google Scholar Cochrane databases. Then, the best clinical guidelines suitable for the Iranian society were selected and using the opinions of specialists and clinical experts, a clinical guideline was prepared for the treatment of obesity in Iranian adults. Results: In this article, in continuation of the previous article, we answered the questions number 4 to 6 regarding the stages of obesity treatment and its individualization in adults of Iranian society, and presented a total of 60 recommendations in this regard. Conclusion: In this part of the clinical guide for obesity in Iranian adults, we tried to have a special view on the treatment of these patients and by providing evidence-based recommendations and statements, the treatment process was personalized as much as possible for patients with special conditions so that decision-making in this regard is facilitated for the relevant colleagues in this field. © 2024 Iranian Journal of Diabetes and Metabolism and Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
