To examine relationships between the demographic characteristics of subjects with obesity seeking pharmaceutical-assisted weight loss and their weight loss expectations and perceptions of the causes of their obesity. 225 adults with obesity completed an Obesity Perceptions Questionnaire (OPQ), which includes four attribution subscales – biological, psychological, environmental, and lifestyle. Relationships between OPQ subscales, subject characteristics, and self-perceived “ideal” 12-month weight loss were analyzed. Subjects desired to lose 26.4 (7.7)% of their body weight (“ideal weight loss”). Ideal weight loss correlated positively with the OPQ ‘biological’ subscale (P = .008), BMI (P < .001), female sex (P < .001), and past weight loss attempts (P < .001). Cronbach’s α was only good (>.70) for the psychological subscale. White race (P = .02), being married (P = .01) and high school or higher education (P = .02) were negatively correlated with ideal weight loss. When designing interventions for preventing and treating obesity, patient perceptions should be considered.
