With rapidly increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide, it has become imperative to generate a comprehensive and easy to use clinical model for its management. We propose a simplified yet systematic approach to an obese patient, for a personalised patient centric obesity management. The SECURE model encompasses three domains in evaluation of the patient (Severity assessment, Etiological evaluation and Comorbidity workup) and the other three pillars for obesity treatment (Urge life style changes, Role of medications and surgery and Expected goal setting). This provides a clinical action checklist that may be useful even in other chronic non communicable disorders.
