Question:How do we decrease obesity?
Clinic1 v 1 Populations
vs.
Why?UnhealthyWeight Gain
Obesity
“Toxic” Obesity =
Metabolic Syndrome(MetS)
Cardiovascular Dz(CVD)= Death
GoalProvide how-to-steps
on how to move the needle on obesity &
prevent premature death from cardiovascular disease.
OutlineWHY should we care? Metabolic Syndrome, CVD, etc!
Ok, we care. Let’s take action!
Let’s Design an intervention that works (review the lit reviews)

Summary• Obesity is associated with MetS, CVD, & Death
• Small changes at any time = CVD• Small changes at the Molten Moment = Obesity• The 1v1 AND Population Interventions work We must all work together, doing what we can
