| More Details: | Weight gain is an independent risk factor for decline in cardiometabolic and overall health-related quality of life in midlife women. The AIIMS-DST initiative aims to develop and validate stepwise recommendations specific for weight management in midlife women. The key clinical questions specific to weight management in midlife women were finalized with the help of a multidisciplinary team of experts in the guideline development group. Phase I including a systematic and/or narrative review, grading of evidence, and expert opinion was sought to develop clinical practice recommendations for each clinical question. Phase II focused on validation of clinical practice recommendations using the peer-review, Delphi method, and GRADE approach. The guidelines provide clinical practice points to address challenges encountered by midlife women in their attempts to manage obesity via lifestyle modification techniques. The initiation of discussion would help the health-care provider to identify the weight management needs of the women, educate women on different modalities of weight management, and empower them to incorporate corrective lifestyle behaviors. Before initiating the management, a comprehensive assessment of clinical and lifestyle-related parameters should be completed. A personalized behavioral lifestyle modification program addressing the midlife-specific barriers for optimal metabolic, musculoskeletal, and mental health should be planned. A consistent follow-up is required for maintenance of corrective eating and activity habits by addressing midlife-specific barriers for sustenance of healthy weight. These recommendations will be useful in opportunistic screening and management of obesity in midlife women across health-care settings. |
