Body weight control in patients followed up in a multidisciplinary team for obesity in China
Introduction:
The treatment of obesity is based on diet and lifestyle intervention and medication, bariatric surgery or
acupuncture in China is recommended in some cases. Therefore, a multidisciplinary team is needed for the management
of obesity. Herein we described the body weight and other metabolic profile changes in the multidisciplinary team for
obesity at Peking University First Hospital in 2-year follow-up.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation:
445 patients participated in the multidisciplinary team for obesity, which
consisted of a physician, a dietician, an exercise therapist, a bariatric surgeon, an acupuncturist and several health
educators. Patients were followed up at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 18 months and 2 years after their first visit. We
investigated body weight changes across up to 5 times of follow-ups and factors that affected the successful rate in weight
reduction using logistic regression.
Findings:
Body weight declined significantly at every visit compared with the basal value (p<0.0001), and it decreased
significantly in follow-up at 6 months and 1 year compared with the former visit (p<0.0001, 6m vs. 3m; p<0.0001, 1y vs.
6m). Defining body weight reduction over 5% as success, the rate of success was as high as 40.9%-50.9% during visits.
Defining the reduction of body weight over 10% as success, the successful rate gradually increased from 13.2% to 26.9%
during visits. Sex category, baseline body weight, body mass index and hip circumference were associated with the success
of weight-loss.
Conclusion & Significance:
A multidisciplinary team for obesity management could significantly achieve the goal of
body weight reduction. For most of the patients, weight reduction occurs during the first year of treatment. Sex category,
baseline body weight, body mass index and hip circumference are associated with successful weight control.
