The Optimal Health Weight and Lifestyle (OHWL) Clinic: Comprehensive, Multidisciplinary and Geriatric-Focused Care for Multimorbid Older Adults With Obesity
Older adults with obesity have multiple comorbidities, low strength, and high pain interference, and receive care from multiple specialists, placing them at risk of fragmented care. A person-centered, geriatric-focused approach incorporating the Medication, Mentation, Mobility, and What Matters (4Ms) framework is needed, along with comprehensive obesity care provided by a team-based approach. Further evidence-based interventions adapting lifestyle and medication management to this cohort are also needed.
