PATHWEIGH reshapes weight care in primary care, reversing population weight gain

Endocrinologist Leigh Perreault led PATHWEIGH, a structured primary-care pathway that dedicates visits to weight management and streamlines workflows to reduce stigma and barriers. In a NIH-funded rollout across Colorado's 56 clinics, a large 18-month trial with 274,182 patients found that population weight gain fell by 0.58 kg and the overall trend shifted toward weight loss, with a 23% uptick in weight-related care and more anti-obesity prescriptions, prompting broader interest from health systems.

The study suggests that previous mixed results in diet trials may be due to research bias, confounding factors, or differences in study design and execution.
