“There is good information available about how weight loss is helpful to patients in multiple domains. The TNFi can work better and patients do better when they lose weight. This is important, but it is often underappreciated,” Dr. Ogdie says.

The complete guideline is available online on both the ACR website and the NPF website.


Kathy Holliman, MEd, has been a medical writer and editor since 1997.
