摘要
With 6.1 million United States cases as of early September 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is presenting unprecedented challenges to primary care. As a complex multifactorial chronic disease, obesity is a significant risk for severe COVID-19 complications associated with high morbidity and mortality. Sustainable lifestyle changes and weight loss can be effective to address obesity and its complications. With COVID-19 expected to persist for the foreseeable future, treatment and prevention of obesity is more imperative than ever. This report summarizes how obesity management and lifestyle counseling can be incorporated and applied in primary care during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc.
