This study developed the Comprehensive International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set and Brief ICF Core Set for obesity through expert consensus. These tools standardize the assessment of health and disability in obesity management.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Clinical Assessment

Background:

  • Obesity is a complex global health issue requiring standardized assessment tools.
  • The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a framework for describing health and disability.
  • Existing assessment methods for obesity lack comprehensive standardization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the first version of the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for obesity.
  • To develop the first version of the Brief ICF Core Set for obesity.
  • To establish a consensus-based framework for assessing individuals with obesity.

Main Methods:

  • A formal consensus process integrating evidence from preliminary studies was employed.
  • Preliminary studies included a Delphi exercise, systematic review, and empirical data collection.

  • International experts trained in the ICF identified relevant ICF categories.

    • Main Results:

    • A Comprehensive ICF Core Set for obesity was defined, comprising 109 categories (30 body functions, 18 body structures, 28 activities and participation, 33 environmental factors).
    • A Brief ICF Core Set for obesity was defined, consisting of 9 categories (3 body functions, 4 activities and participation, 2 environmental factors).
    • No body structure categories were included in the Brief ICF Core Set.

    Conclusions:

    • The consensus process successfully defined ICF Core Sets for obesity.
    • The Comprehensive and Brief ICF Core Sets provide standardized tools for obesity assessment.
    • These ICF Core Sets facilitate consistent data collection and communication in obesity research and practice.
