In new clinical guidance, @endosocjournals.bsky.social says Lancet Commission work on #ClinicalObesity is a meaningful advance, but has practical issues. Lancet author Francesco Rubino says they're mistaken. Dialogue & collab needed.

At #ObesityWeek yesterday, we had a real treat in a passionate debate about the @thelancet.com Commision report on #ClinicalObesity. Sue Yanovsky, Bob Kushner, Fatima Cody Stanford, and Donna Ryan made it great. "Let's be friends," says Donna. AMEN.

Two new papers give us sharply different estimates of #ClinicalObesity prevalence. One, in Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, says it's 35.5%. The other, in #OBESITY, says it's 9.7%. "Ambiguity and uncertainty" are abundant on this subject.

The Lancet Commission report on #ClinicalObesity is not sitting well with pediatric obesity experts. A new viewpoint in @jama.com Pediatrics explains why.

In an age of #cynicism, #consensus about #ClinicalObesity is hard. It will require an effort for collegial, respectful dialogue to get there.

We have a message for folks who are clutching their pearls about issues they have with the @thelancet.bsky.social Commission on #ClinicalObesity.

Chill and enjoy some collegial discourse!

Anyone who thought a global consensus about #ClinicalObesity would be easy has another think coming. And yet we still see remarkable consensus on core concepts. Even if it is not the final word, we admire the work of Francesco Rubino and the whole commission.
