To address obesity worldwide, changes are needed in both the availability of treatments and the attitudes of clinicians. That’s the conclusion of a survey-based study of health professionals.
In the Clinical Obesity study, investigators surveyed 274 respondents from a total of 68 low, middle, and high income countries. Respondents in most countries stated that there were professional guidelines for obesity treatment, but adequate services were lacking, especially in lower income countries and in rural areas of most countries.
