I’ve written about the controversy over the use of BMI as obesity’s biomarker before. Opponents rightly point out it’s imperfect as it fails to specifically address race, age, gender, and most importantly, body habitus. They believe it’s so flawed that its ongoing use will pathologize many people who are in fact healthy. And to a point, they’re right.

Você sabia que mais da metade da população adulta mundial terá obesidade até 2050? Que a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde e os índices de utilidade em saúde são consideravelmente melhores após a cirurgia bariátrica em comparação ao tratamento clínico em pacientes com obesidade e diabetes do tipo 2? E que cinco anos de terapia cognitivo-comportamental on-line, voltada à manutenção de mudanças comportamentais, não foram eficazes na manutenção da perda de peso?

The United Kingdom’s National Obesity Forum has apparently decided that returning to school this fall in the middle of a pandemic isn’t stressful enough for kids, and is recommending that its National Child Measurement Programme be expanded to have 4- to 5-year-old and 10- to 11-year-old children weighed when they return to the classroom – and then weighed again in the spring – in a bid to tackle COVID-19–related gains.

I wish it astonished me that people are still publishing studies about non-nutritive sweeteners’ purported links to weight gain despite the lack of any such finding in formal trials or in the post-market surveillance of these additives’ longstanding and widespread use.

Did you know that over half the adults on earth will have obesity by 2050? Or that health-related quality of life and health utility after bariatric surgery was markedly better than after medical treatment for patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes? Or that 5 years of web-based cognitive behavior therapy to maintain behavior change didn’t help people to maintain their weight losses? These were the conclusions of three recently published articles. Sounds grim — except for one thing.

Lo que debemos medir para el diagnóstico de obesidad ha sido durante mucho tiempo un acalorado debate porque el peso corporal por sí solo no nos dice lo suficiente: las básculas miden la atracción gravitatoria de la Tierra en un instante dado, no la presencia o ausencia de salud. Necesitamos algo mejor.

They’re literally not better. Idealistically, sure, but literally not. And there’s really no debate. Meaning there’s never been a reproducible diet and exercise intervention that has led to anywhere near the average weight lost by those taking obesity medications. Furthermore, when it comes to the durability of weight lost, the gulf between outcomes with diet and exercise vs obesity medications is even more dramatic.
