[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you can cite studies of correlation.

Do you understand why that does not translate well into differences in outcomes for [I]treatment[/I]?DO you have studies that show longterm outcomes (of the kind you are pushing for) in [I]management[/I] of obesity?

Show me outcomes data. That's what we're talking about, right? Not whether obesity is associated with certain outcomes, but what sort of [u]intervention[/u] can effect positive [u]change[/u] in those outcomes in people overall? Otherwise, you're just wanking off and getting high on judging people.

(Hint: fat-shaming is not effective. It's counterproductive, but at least you get to feel superior as you lead people to greater fatness, amirite?)

I do hope you are not a PA or NP. If so, you should be better trained.[/quote]

I think you're talking to me, and I have not once, ever, shamed a patient about their weight.  For starters, they're all sedated and intubated by the point I meet them, so they'd hear neither shame nor encouragement.

I didn't cite research in support of effective interventions or treatment, if you stop pontificating for a second and go back and reread what wrote.  I offered compelling evidence that obesity is correlated, yes, to all-cause morbidity.   There are several posters on this thread who have stated otherwise, page after page, and I am responding to them.  They are wrong.  [/quote]
