- W2083804067 abstract "Obesity and the growing population of older adults are significant public health concerns in the United States. In 2011, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services introduced a Medicare benefit for obesity counselling using Intensive Behavioral Therapy that would reimburse structured visits over a 12-month period. Although we applaud this new benefit that addresses the obesity epidemic in older adults, three major shortcomings limit its utility and potential effectiveness: 1) weight loss interventions differ in older and younger adults, yet the benefit relies predominantly on data from interventions studied in younger populations; 2) body mass index is not an accurate measure for identifying obesity; and 3) tying reimbursement to clinician visits may hamper the integration of this benefit into practice. To overcome these shortcomings, we propose: 1) obesity treatment should focus on improving quality of life and physical function and on mitigating muscle and bone loss rather than focusing solely on weight loss; 2) waist circumference or waist-hip ratio should be considered as additional anthropometric measures in ascertaining obesity; and 3) allied health professionals should be reimbursed for providing this benefit. Incorporating these suggestions will improve its usability in clinical practice and increase the chances that this well-meaning benefit will improve patient outcomes." @default.
