Slide4Obesity is recognised as a disease and global health issue
“…obesity is a primary disease, and the full force of our medical knowledge should be brought to bear on the prevention and treatment of obesity as a primary disease entity”1
“Recognizing obesity as a disease will help change the way the medical community tackles this complex issue that affects approximately one in three
Americans”
2
“Obesity
is a
chronic disease
, prevalent in
both
developed and developing countries,
and
affecting children as well as
adults”
3
“FDA
agrees with these comments that
obesity is a
disease.” “Being overweight
,
ie
being more than one's ideal weight but less
than obese
, however, is not a
disease”

Slide54SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONObesity is a chronic, relapsing disease that requires long-term treatment
There are hormonal, physiologic, genetic and epigenetic adaptations our body exhibits to MAINTAIN adiposity by hindering weight loss and promoting weight gainRealistic expectations of 5-10% weight loss is achievable and has shown to produce significant improvement of multiple co-morbid medical problems.Behavior modification remains the cornerstone of treatment , helped with safe and efficient pharmacotherapies acting on both mesolimbic reward and Hypothalamic hunger systems54

61NB dosing should be escalated over a 4-week period
Morning
Evening
Week 1
Week 2
Week 3
Week 4 and onwards
Administration
Tablets should be taken by mouth in the morning and evening and
should not be cut, chewed or crushed
In clinical trials, NB was administered with meals. However, NB
should not be taken with a high-fat meal
because of a resulting significant increase in bupropion and naltrexone systemic exposure
The need for treatment should be evaluated after 16 weeks and reevaluated annually.

Slide62Studies in twins estimate the heritability of BMI as 40–80% in children and adults1,2Genome-wide association studies have identified a large number of genetic loci associated with obesity risk3
In one meta-analysis, the most common 97 loci only accounted for 2.7% of BMI variance, while genome-wide estimates accounted for ~20%4Therefore, a large proportion of heritability remains unexplained3It has been proposed that epigenetic modifications could account for some of this ‘missing’ heritability3Epigenetics may help to explain the heritability of obesity62
