Abstract
Obesity is a prevalent and complex disease. The prevalence of obesity in Korea increased from 29.7% in 2010 to 35.7% in 2018, with the prevalence of abdominal obesity among Korean adults in 2018 being 23.8%. Obesity contributes to medical costs and socio-economic burden due to associated comorbidities. The treatment and management of obesity is changing and reflects new clinical evidence. The 2020 Korean Society for the Study of Obesity Guideline for the Management of Obesity in Korea summarizes evidence-based recommendations and treatment guidelines.Entities:
