Facts about Obesity Treatment

While we know that obesity is an ongoing concern for both children and adults, there were some interesting facts that arose from some survey, particularly the role that doctors play in the observation and treatment of obesity in their patients. Namely:

• One-third of obese adults have never received advice from their doctor about exercise.
• Obese adults who are black, Hispanic, poor or have less than a high school education are less likely to receive diet advice from their doctor.
• Most overweight children and one-third of obese adults report that they have not been told by their doctor that they are overweight.
• Most American children have never received counseling from their health care provider about exercise, and almost half have never received counseling about healthy eating.
