Comment on: Insurance-mandated weight management program completion before bariatric surgery provides no long-term clinical benefit
By 2030, 1 in 2 American adults is projected to have obesity and 1 in 4 clinically severe obesity. Obesity represents a serious public health issue because it is a major risk factor for many major, noncommunicable diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer, and independently predicts overall mortality. The burden of obesity on medical spending is also significant, with $1861 in excess annual medical costs per adult with obesity and $3097 per adult with severe obesity —accounting for $173 billion annually in the United States [1].

High Blood Pressure and Diabetes Are Linked. Here ’ s How to Reduce Your Risk for Both

These increased risks are significant, and in some cases grave. Researchers have found that people with Type 2 ­diabetes are up to four times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than those who don’t have the conditio...
