This symposium is intended for interprofessional clinical practitioners to improve their knowledge on obesity assessment and management in older adults. Weight loss in older adults with obesity has been shown to improve function and mobility. It can be challenging to determine in which older adults we should recommend weight loss. Learning Objectives: (1) review how to apply the 5Ms of geriatrics to obesity assessment; (2) discuss the incretin medications in the management of obesity and diabetes in older adults, as well as other risks and benefits; (3) manage obesity in underserved populations.
