Much attention has been focused on the use of medications and surgery to treat severe obesity, but the document also thoroughly reviews the evaluation of obesity and its comorbidities through key action statements and consensus recommendations. The majority of these evaluation guidelines are well within the scope of the general pediatrician and an understanding of and implementation of them can lead to improved obesity care in the primary care setting. The goal of this article is to guide the reader in the evaluation of obesity and its comorbidities in the primary care setting through a chronic disease model lens as a basis for all future care. <b>[ <i>Pediatr Ann<\/i> . 2024;53(10):e378-e385.]<\/b> .","url":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&db=mdl&AN=39377821&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513","isPdfLink":true,"isSAML":false,"additionalInfo":{"Authored_By":"Rausch JC, Bolling CF","Journal_Info":"Publisher: Slack Country of Publication: United States NLM ID: 0356657 Publication Model: Print-Electronic Cited Medium: Internet ISSN: 1938-2359 (Electronic) Linking ISSN: 00904481 NLM ISO Abbreviation: Pediatr Ann Subsets: MEDLINE","Publication_Type":"Journal Article","Published_Date":"2024-10-01","Source":"Pediatric annals [Pediatr Ann] 2024 Oct; Vol. 53 (10), pp. e378-e385.
