Sumario: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.
