On behalf of The Obesity Society, it is my pleasure to
welcome you to Washington, DC, and Obesity 2009,
the 27th Annual Scientific Meeting of our society. The
Marriott Wardman Park Hotel provides a wonderful self-contained venue for
our meeting with convenient access to all key lectures, symposia, abstract
presentations and the exhibit hall. In addition, the nearby Metro allows you to
explore our nation’s capital with its diverse cuisine and historic landmarks. I am
confident that you will find this year’s meeting one of the best ever!
The conference program is organized into five scientific tracks, ranging
from cell and molecular biology to clinical practice. This organization allows
attendees to choose subject matter that is most relevant and interesting to
their area of focus. The program committee, chaired by Jack Yanovski and
co-chaired by Susan Fried, has selected cutting-edge topics and proven
speakers for the key lectures and symposia. Attendees can expect to hear
about state-of-the-art issues and controversies in the science of obesity and
in obesity clinical care. New features this year include a ‘late-breaking clinical
trial symposium,’ where results from new clinical trials will be presented for the
first time. This is also the first year that accreditation and continuing education
credits are available for physicians, physician assistants, dietitians, pharmacists,
nurse practitioners, and nurses. Please join me in thanking the program
committee for their time, commitment and dedication to creating a superb
scientific meeting.
This is an exciting time to be in Washington, DC. In the midst of the healthcare
reform debate, our Advocacy Task Force, led by past president Richard
Atkinson and Task Force member Ted Kyle, is hosting a preconference
advocacy forum on Saturday afternoon titled ‘Can We Reform Healthcare
Without a Sound Obesity Policy?’ Healthcare policy experts from the United
States and the United Kingdom will discuss public-health policy issues and
controversies. This past August, The Obesity Society published an invited
editorial in the Washington Times entitled, ‘Solutions: Eradicating America’s
Obesity Epidemic,’ expertly prepared by Public Affairs Committee chairman,
Steve Smith.
The society has taken significant steps this year to bolster the Clinical Care
pillar of our strategic plan and welcome clinical care members. The Centers for
Obesity Research and Education (CORE) represents ten university programs
that have provided practice-based educational workshops for clinicians over
the past decade and publishes Obesity Management. CORE is now officially
an educational arm of our society and will continue to provide state-of-theart training in weight management. Another initiative of great importance to
physicians is development of a Certified Obesity Medicine Physician (COMP)
Examination program. Under our society’s leadership, an unprecedented
collaboration of thirteen professional societies has joined forces to create
the COMP program to prepare physicians to deal with the obesity epidemic.
The thirteen member societies are: The Obesity Society, American Academy
of Pediatrics, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, American
Board of Physician Nutrition Specialists, American College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists, American College of Sports Medicine, American Diabetes
Association, American Gastroenterological Association, American Heart
Association, American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, American
Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, American Society for Nutrition, and
The Endocrine Society. The examination is anticipated to be ready in 2010.
2Obesity 2009 / the 27th Annual Scientific Meeting of The Obesity Society
2009 has been an important transitional year for our society, providing
a strong foundation to build for the future. For the first ten months, the
society’s national office was guided by our interim Executive Vice President,
Ann Kenworthy. Ann provided the management, stability, experience and
wisdom needed to steer us through these unsteady economic times. In August,
the reins were handed over to the society’s third, full-time Executive Vice
President, Francesca Dea. Francesca brings fifteen years of leadership skills
to the society in operations, finance, marketing, membership and building
strategic alliances. We welcome Francesca and look forward to a bright and
successful future.
I would also like to express my gratitude to
the member companies of our Corporate
Advisory Council and their representatives
who serve on the council. My thanks also
go to all companies who have helped with
the financing of our various programs
and grants during the past year and who
continue to support the work of the society.
New features this year include a
‘late-breaking clinical trial symposium,’
where results from new clinical trials
will be presented for the first time.
Our accomplishments this year would not
have been made possible without the hard work and dedication of many
individuals. I wish to acknowledge The Obesity Society’s full-time staff in the
Silver Spring office and all of the volunteer members on Council, committees,
task forces and sections. I want to specially thank members of the Executive
Committee, who have worked tirelessly to lead the society’s activities and
programs – Gary Foster, our immediate Past President, Donna Ryan, our next
President, Jennifer Lovejoy, our next President-Elect, and Dale Schoeller, our
Secretary/Treasurer.
Over the next five days, you will have an opportunity to learn, reflect and
network at the scientific meeting. Please take advantage of our host city,
Washington, DC, and everything our meeting has to offer. Your participation
and attendance are what makes the meeting successful.
Enjoy the meeting!

Welcome to Washington and Obesity 2009!
It’s with great pleasure that we welcome you all to Obesity 2009, the 27th
Annual Scientific Meeting of The Obesity Society! We’re delighted to be
gathering in Washington, DC, and we trust that the Marriott Wardman Park will
provide a wonderful setting and a great environment for our scientific meeting.
Developing the program for our meeting requires creativity, innovation, and
dedication from a team that is expert across all areas of obesity science. So, we’d
like to start by thanking our colleagues on the 2009 Annual Program Committee
as well as the hard-working Obesity Society Annual Meeting staff for their time,
talents, and expertise in developing this year’s program. We appreciate the
outstanding effort that each and every one of you put into creating this year’s
terrific program. Our thanks also go to the society’s President, Robert F. Kushner,
MD, for his invaluable support throughout this year.
2009 generated a bumper crop of abstract submissions to be reviewed. We
are especially grateful for the many members of the society who volunteered
to participate as abstract reviewers, spending many hours to select the very
best submissions for platform presentations. The program features a total
of 979 abstracts this year: 155 oral and 824 poster abstracts of exceptional
quality. Our thanks, and appreciation, go out to all who will present their work
over the next five days.
The 2009 program features a collection of exceptionally qualified invited
speakers. From our distinguished plenary and key lecturers to the scientifically
gifted presenters who will participate in the terrific combination of symposia
that have been planned for each of the five days of the meeting. We offer our
gratitude to all speakers for accepting to be a part of Obesity 2009 and for
sharing their expert knowledge with our members and guests.
This year’s program follows a track-based system that allows attendees to mix
and match the sessions they wish to attend, or simply follow one track that is
of most interest. Tracks this year are:
★

Key lectures, symposia, and oral abstracts have been scheduled by track and
also across tracks when interests overlap to allow attendees the opportunity to
take in presentations of high caliber and interest that cross various disciplines.
They cover the full gamut of obesity science; a fully comprehensive offering.
New this year is a late-breaking clinical trials session that presents innovative
research about the latest breakthroughs in clinical obesity science.
4Obesity 2009 / the 27th Annual Scientific Meeting of The Obesity Society
Awards sessions have been spread across four days, from Saturday to
Tuesday, in order to give each award and award recipient their full recognition
and we encourage you to attend, applaud, and recognize each recipient for
their contributions to the field of obesity and
to the society.
The program features a total of 979
abstracts this year: 155 oral and 824
poster abstracts of exceptional quality.
Posters presentations are available in three
separate poster viewing sessions, each with
a lunchtime and an evening viewing session
and each with its own dedicated time slot
to ensure no overlap with other sessions.
As done last year, a portion of each poster
category will be presented each day to allow
more flexible viewing and discussion opportunities for attendees and authors.
For those of you who arrive early on Saturday, we encourage you to attend
the Preconference sessions that have been planned for Saturday afternoon:
★ Pharmacotherapy Update: Industry-based scientists report on
recent progress
★ Advocacy Forum: “Can We Reform Healthcare Without a Sound
Obesity Policy?”
Following these will be the Opening Ceremonies, presided over by Robert
F. Kushner, MD. The Keynote Address, The Obesity Epidemic: the Journey
from Recognition to Solutions, will be given by William H. Dietz, MD, PhD,
Director of the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity, Centers for
Disease Control (CDC). The special guest speaker will be the Surgeon General
of the United States. Dr. Kushner will also present the Opening Address,
and recognize the George Bray Award, the Journal Awards, and the New
Investigator Research Grants.
The Annual Program Committee also extends its grateful thanks to our
Corporate Advisory Council for its support during the past year.
Finally, no Obesity Society Meeting would be complete without the
opportunity to network and meet with colleagues old and new. All attendees
are invited to the Opening Reception on Saturday evening. We look forward to
meeting you there and throughout the meeting.
We are honored to have served as your Annual Program Committee Chair and
Co-Chair and to have been responsible for planning our annual meeting. We hope
that you will find the program and the other sessions informative and stimulating.
Warm Regards.

Can We Reform HealthCare Without a Sound
Obesity Policy?
Chair: Richard Atkinson, MD and Theodore Kyle
This public forum is designed to build awareness of the
need for a sound obesity policy for successful health
reform. Obesity, from early childhood obesity to adult
morbid obesity, is a complicated disease that affects millions of people around the world and is related to many
other diseases. The United Kingdom has developed very
strong, integrated public and private policies on obesity
and during the forum, our expert panelists will generate
thoughtful discussion on the relationship between obesity, chronic diseases and much-needed health reform.
The ultimate goal of the forum is to build connections
between scientific and policy leaders who can forge solutions to the obesity epidemic.

Thurgood Marshall Ballroom
7:15-9:30 PM
Stop Cardiometabolic Risk Before It Stops You:
Exploring New Advances in the Medical Management of
Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes
Virginia Suite
Treatment of obesity poses complex management problems for clinicians. In this program, clinicians will review
the data on risk assessment and evidence of the health
benefits of weight loss that helps drive therapeutic decisions. The array of treatment options – from lifestyle
choices to medications to surgical intervention – will be
reviewed, with practical solutions for addressing barriers to treatment, as well as other practice issues. With a
limited number of approved weight loss medications currently available, clinicians will also look ahead to emerging
therapeutic options designed to control food intake and
encourage weight loss.
Accredited Sponsor: Vindico Medical Education
Diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity are
closely related metabolic processes that significantly
increase a patient’s risk of cardiovascular disease. In this
program, clinicians will discuss how insulin resistance
contributes to these cardiometabolic diseases and how
understanding these relationships can influence disease
management. The dynamics of the incretin system and
mechanism of incretin-based therapies will be discussed,
to offer a state-of-the-science update on an important
pathway in treating diabetes. Clinicians must synthesize understanding of pathophysiology with therapeutic
action, and the panel will discuss management strategies
for controlling weight, controlling lipid and glycemic levels to achieve the best outcomes for patients.
