New pediatric guidelines aim to treat obesity without stigma. Critics say they’ll make bias worse
explicitly recognize the role weight stigma historically has played in medical care., patients work with their doctors to create unique treatment plans, said Dr. Anton Dietzen, a pediatric physiatrist with the institute’s Fit and Healthy Clinic.
Colleen Schreyer, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine who serves as the director of clinical research for the Johns Hopkins Eating Disorders program, has complicated feelings about the guidelines. Deborah Kauffmann is a nutrition counselor who practices a non-dieting approach to weight management and is the former director of nutrition services at The Center for Eating Disorders in Towson. She said the BMI is an inaccurate measure of health.
“We know that 95% of people who start a behavioral weight loss intervention will regain the majority of their weight,” Schreyer said. “Around 60-65% of patients who undergo bariatric surgery keep their weight off five to 10 years later.”
