| "2. Use the current cutpoints for overweight (BMI >25.0-29.9 kg/m2) to identify adults who may be at elevated risk of CVD and the current cut points for obesity (BMI≥30) to identify adults who may be at elevated risk of mortality from all causes. (Level of Evidence: A)" |
| "3. Advise overweight and obese adults that the greater the BMI, the greater the risk of CVD, type 2 diabetes, and all-cause mortality. (Level of Evidence: A)" |
| Class IIa |
| "1. Measure waist circumference at annual visits or more frequently in overweight and obese adults. Advise adults that the greater the waist circumference, the greater the risk of CVD, type 2 diabetes, and all-cause mortality. The cutpoints currently in common use (from either NIH/NHLBI or WHO/IDF) may continue to be used to identify patients who may be at increased risk until further evidence becomes available. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
