1. Weight management, as measured by [[body mass index]] and/or waist circumference, should be assessed on each visit. A [[body mass index]] of 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m² and a waist circumference (measured horizontally at the [[iliac crest]]) of <40 inches for men and <35 inches for women is recommended. (Level of Evidence: B) Additional weight management practices recommended include the following:
::a. On each patient visit, it is useful to consistently encourage weight maintenance / reduction through an appropriate balance of physical activity, caloric intake, and formal behavioral programs when indicated to maintain/achieve a [[body mass index]] between 18.5 and 24.9 kg/m². (Level of Evidence: B)
::b. If waist circumference is ≥35 inches in women or ≥40 inches in men, it is beneficial to initiate lifestyle changes and consider treatment strategies for [[metabolic syndrome]] as indicated. (Level of Evidence: B)
::c. The initial goal of weight loss therapy should be to reduce body weight by approximately 10% from baseline. With success, further weight loss can be attempted if indicated through further assessment. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
