Answer preview

Even though the guideline was tailor-made for South Korea, most of the recommendations concerning treatment and prevention of obesity can be quite useful when I am caring for my patients. Courtesy of the recommendations in this guideline, I will have a chance to come up with family-based, comprehensive, multidisciplinary behavioral interventions. These interventions will place emphasis on lifestyle modification, which will encompass encouraging my patients to consume a calorie-controlled balanced diet, engage in vigorous physical activity and exercise, and reduction of sedentary habits. They will also require the support of the patient’s family, school, and community. The recommendations will allow me to diagnose my patients accurately and much earlier in their life.
