This new consensus statement summarizes important areas of agreement around the topics of obesity stigma and weight bias from the perspectives of the individual, clinicians, and the healthcare system following the May 2022 AACE Consensus Conference on improving obesity outcomes.

This guideline identifies patient candidates for bariatric procedures, discusses which types of bariatric procedures should be offered, outlines management of patients before procedures, and recommends how to optimize patient care during and after procedures.

This position statement outlines new terminology and blueprint for a chronic care model with an advanced diagnostic framework for the comprehensive management of obesity.

The 2016 guideline and algorithm address key aspects of obesity care: screening, diagnosis, clinical evaluation, treatment options, therapy selection, and treatment goals.

After careful review, AACE may endorse clinical guidance documents developed by external organizations to provide up-to-date recommendations for practice or valuable ancillary knowledge for AACE members and their teams to improve care of patients. Endorsements are reviewed and approved by AACE leadership.
