In the article by Khyati Patel entitled "Obesity Treatment: A Focus on Pharmacotherapy of Weight Management" in the March/April 2020 issue of the journal, there was an error.

In a statement under the subsection "Treatment Approach" on page 122, the following sentence read as follows:

"Addition of pharmacotherapy to lifestyle modifications is recommended for patients with BMI of 30 or more or BMI of 27 or more with two or more comorbidities (Apovian et al., 2015; Jensen et al., 2014)."

This sentence should have read as follows: "Addition of pharmacotherapy to lifestyle modifications is recommended for patients with BMI of 30 or more or BMI of 27 or more with one or more comorbidities (Apovian et al., 2015; Jensen et al., 2014)."

The number of comorbidities is one, not two.
