Abstract

Objectives: The obesity pandemic is a major public health concern in Saudi Arabia, with significant impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD). This position statement aims to provide an overview of available evidence as well as the recommendations of the Saudi Heart Association on the management of obesity associated with CVD.

Methods: Under the auspices of the Saudi Heart Association, a multidisciplinary expert panel comprised of cardiologists and endocrinologists discussed available evidence and provided recommendations on the management of obesity in CVD. The expert panel discussions occurred between September of 2023 and May of 2024 and also took into consideration local expertise in addition to published data in the management of obesity and CVD in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Results and conclusions: The expert panel explored studies on obesity and its implication on CVD assessment modalities, while also examining the efficacy and cardiovascular safety of available interventions for weight reduction. The association between obesity and CVD is undeniable. The treatment of obesity, be it through lifestyle changes, pharmacological therapy or surgery, is an effective strategy for both weight loss as well as the primary and secondary prevention of CVD. The Saudi Heart Association position statement thus provides guidance and recommendations for the management of obesity/overweight and CVD in Saudi Arabia. This position statement is expected to contribute towards obesity and CVD prevention efforts in Saudi Arabia by promoting adequate and time-appropriate treatment of these conditions.

沙特心脏协会关于肥胖与心血管疾病的立场声明。
目的:肥胖症是沙特阿拉伯的一大公共卫生问题,对心血管疾病(CVD)有重大影响。本立场声明旨在概述现有证据以及沙特心脏协会对心血管疾病相关肥胖症管理的建议:在沙特心脏协会的主持下,由心脏病专家和内分泌专家组成的多学科专家小组讨论了现有证据,并就肥胖对心血管疾病的管理提出了建议。专家小组的讨论在 2023 年 9 月至 2024 年 5 月期间进行,除了沙特阿拉伯王国肥胖和心血管疾病管理方面已发表的数据外,还考虑了当地的专业知识:专家小组探讨了有关肥胖及其对心血管疾病影响评估方式的研究,同时还审查了现有减轻体重干预措施的有效性和心血管安全性。肥胖与心血管疾病之间的联系是不可否认的。无论是通过改变生活方式、药物治疗还是手术治疗肥胖症,都是减轻体重以及心血管疾病一级和二级预防的有效策略。因此,沙特心脏协会的立场声明为沙特阿拉伯的肥胖/超重和心血管疾病管理提供了指导和建议。通过促进对肥胖和心血管疾病进行充分和适时的治疗,该立场声明有望为沙特阿拉伯的肥胖和心血管疾病预防工作做出贡献。
