Objective/Methods: The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists/American College of Endocrinology %26quot;Consensus conference on obesity: building an evidence base for comprehensive action%26quot; convened March 23-25, 2014, in Washington, D.C. The premise of the conference was that by bringing together stakeholders in U.S. obesity care, representing the biomedical and public health models, new information would emerge to formulate actionable recommendations. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: Key conference findings include 5 affirmed and 8 emergent concepts. These concepts include the need for a medically meaningful and actionable diagnosis of obesity, research that evaluates and refines a complications-centric clinical approach to obesity, the need for a better understanding of reimbursement mechanisms and the value associated with obesity prevention and management, increased nutrition and obesity education, and enhanced public awareness and health literacy. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusion: Next steps include deriving a more robust medical definition of obesity, translation of the affirmed and emergent concepts into actionable recommendations in the interests of patients with obesity, and developing logistics for effective implementation.
