INDUSTRY SPONSORED SATELLITE SYMPOSIA Industry Sponsored Satellite Symposia are sessions that are planned and conducted by the corporate community in conjuntion with ECO2015. They provide attendees with additional educational/informational opportunities but are not part of the official ECO2015 scientific programme. Wednesday, 6 May 2015 1600 – 1730: PANORAMA HALL “Evidence-based weight loss and maintenance with formula diet” Aim: To examine the evidence for the effectiveness of formula diet weight loss and maintenance programmes. Objectives: • To review the evidence for weight loss and maintenance associated with meaningful medical end-points, and identify further research needs. • To review the evidence for weight loss before bariatric and knee replacement surgery, determine whether weight loss is needed, review evidence for costs and benefits of weight loss. • To review the evidence for the use of formula diet to achieve weight loss in diabetes, describe ongoing trials and describe likely costs and benefits. • To examine the evidence for weight loss and maintenance in obesity-associated inflammatory disease focussing on osteoarthritis, review evidence for costs and benefits of weight loss and maintenance.

There is a close connection between obesity and diabetes, with almost 85% of people with diabetes being overweight or obese. While behavioral lifestyle modification programs have well-documented effects on preventing diabetes, and improving glycemic control among those with diabetes, most programs are offered in a specialized research setting with limited reach. This interactive symposium of leading weight management and diabetes experts, from Europe and the United States, will present new research on effective, scalable communitybased treatment options for both the prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes.
