Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Lifestyle modification is the first-line treatment, including diet and physical activity, followed by pharmacotherapy if weight loss goals are not met after 6 months. Surgery is reserved for those with a BMI ≥35 kg/m².

Current guidelines emphasize lifestyle modification (diet, exercise, behavior therapy) as the first-line approach. If insufficient, pharmacotherapy may be added. Surgery is typically reserved for individuals with BMI ≥40, or BMI ≥35 with comorbidities, such as diabetes.

B. Pharmacotherapy is recommended as the first-line treatment for individuals with a BMI ≥25 kg/m², with lifestyle changes and surgery considered secondary options.

BMI ≥25 is considered overweight, and lifestyle changes, not medications, are the first-line intervention at this level.

C. Lifestyle modifications, including diet and exercise, are secondary treatments, with pharmacotherapy being the first-line approach for all individuals with a BMI ≥30 kg/m². Surgery is recommended for those with a BMI ≥40 kg/m².

Lifestyle modification is first-line, even for BMI ≥30. Pharmacotherapy is used only if lifestyle changes are insufficient.

D. Surgical interventions should be considered the first-line treatment for individuals with a BMI ≥30 kg/m², with lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy used only after surgery.

Surgery is not first-line for a BMI of ≥30. It is considered only for severe obesity or obesity with comorbidities after other methods fail.
