Obesity is now recognized as a chronic disease by many international medical societies. However, its comprehensive assessment is still a challenge in most clinical settings. This paper describes a novel practical approach to assess the barophenotype of a given individual. The word barophenotype is a portmanteau of "baro," which means weight, and phenotype, which reflects an external expression of a trait. This can be easily assessed using an ABCDE framework, encompassing the Adipose topography, Barophenotypic Behavior, Comorbidity assessment, Dysfunctionality, and Expectations. Furthermore, the utility of this framework in determining an appropriate person-centric therapeutic plan has also been described.
肥胖现在已被许多国际医学协会认定为一种慢性疾病。然而，在大多数临床环境中，对其进行全面评估仍是一项挑战。本文描述了一种评估特定个体体重表型的新颖实用方法。“体重表型”一词是“baro”（意为体重）和“表型”（反映一种性状的外在表现）的合成词。这可以使用ABCDE框架轻松评估，该框架包括脂肪分布、体重表型行为、合并症评估、功能障碍和期望。此外，还描述了该框架在确定以患者为中心的适当治疗方案中的作用。
