Background: Considering the increasing and alarming trend of overweight and obesity as well as its related complications, in this study, a comprehensive clinical guide for the medical care of patients with obesity was written based on the clinical recommendations of the American Endocrinology Association and the American College of Endocrinology, and it has been adjusted as much as possible based on the conditions in Iran.
Methods: A complete search was performed in the available databases without any restrictions with a specific strategy. Using the opinions of experts in this field, the best clinical guidelines were selected and obesity clinical guidelines were written for Iranian adults. Recommendations were given based on a detailed review of available clinical evidence and considering objective factors.
Results: A total of 1788 references were used and in response to 9 clinical questions, 123 recommendations, including 160 special statements, were provided to determine a comprehensive medical care program for obesity. In this article, we discuss the prevention, screening, diagnosis, benefits and goals of obesity treatment. Questions 6 to 9 regarding obesity treatment steps and its individualization will be published in the next part of the article.
Conclusion: The detailed evidence-based questions and recommendations outlined in this study identify clinical considerations that facilitate decision-making in obese patients from screening and diagnosis to goals of treatment.
