Abstract
Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disorders, including peripheral arterial disease. This review outlines the evidence for a 6-step process for the management of obesity, starting with identifying the degree and type of obesity, followed by target setting, life style and behavioural changes, imposed hypocaloric diet and physical activity, pharmacological treatment and consideration of eating disorders and/or bariatric surgery.
