Swiss Obesity Clinical Practice Guidance
Developed by the Swiss Society of Endocrinology and Diabetology (SGED-SSED) / Swiss Association for the Study of Metabolism and Obesity (ASEMO-SAMO), the Swiss Multidisciplinary Obesity Society (SMOB) and the Society of Obesity in Childhood and Youth (AKJ); endorsed by the Swiss Obesity Alliance (ALLOB)
Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, and multifactorial disease that poses a significant public health challenge in Switzerland, where approximately 43% of adults are overweight or obese. This new clinical practice guidance establishes a structured, multidisciplinary framework for healthcare professionals, emphasising that assessment, treatment and care should focus on improving overall health metrics, resolving comorbidities and achieving functional gains, rather than solely on numerical weight loss. Crucially, the guidance mandates a non-stigmatising, empathetic approach to combat weight bias, reduce internalised stigma and build therapeutic trust.
