  "abstract": "Key Points ○Weight management in older adults requires an understanding of age‐related physiologic and psychosocial differences relative to a younger adult population.\n\n○Cultural humility and trauma‐informed language guide safe and respectful discussions about weight.\n\n○Effective communication regarding weight management incorporates the Geriatrics 5Ms framework, patient permission, and stigma reduction strategies.\n\n○Intentional weight loss should prioritize preservation of lean mass and functional safeguards.\n\nWhy Does This Paper Matter? ○Weight management interventions in older adults carry unique clinical risks and treatment discussions are often complicated by stigma.\n\n○This commentary provides a practical, person‐centered framework to help clinicians conduct safe, empathetic weight‐related conversations aligned with What Matters Most to patients.",
