Identifying Patients Who Need to Lose Weight (BMI and Waist Circumference (DO NOT EDIT)
| Class I
|
| “1. Measure height and weight and calculate BMI at annual visits or more frequently. (Level of Evidence: E)”
|
| “2. Use the current cutpoints for overweight (BMI >25.0-29.9 kg/m2) to identify adults who may be at elevated risk of CVD and the current cut points for obesity (BMI≥30) to identify adults who may be at elevated risk of mortality from all causes. (Level of Evidence: A)”
|
| “3. Advise overweight and obese adults that the greater the BMI, the greater the risk of CVD, type 2 diabetes, and all-cause mortality. (Level of Evidence: A)”
|
| Class IIa
|
| “1. Measure waist circumference at annual visits or more frequently in overweight and obese adults. Advise adults that the greater the waist circumference, the greater the risk of CVD, type 2 diabetes, and all-cause mortality. The cutpoints currently in common use (from either NIH/NHLBI or WHO/IDF) may continue to be used to identify patients who may be at increased risk until further evidence becomes available. (Level of Evidence: B)”
