在美国，超重和肥胖正在以流行病的比例升级。超重和肥胖的人往往不愿意寻求医疗帮助，不仅是为了减轻体重，也是因为任何健康问题，因为他们认为提供者存在歧视。对肥胖者有偏见的医疗服务提供者会阻碍我们国家有效抗击肥胖流行病的努力。通过解决提供者设置中的体重偏差，受肥胖影响的个人可能更有可能参与有意义和富有成效的体重讨论。提供者需要成为新的和新兴的治疗方法的肥胖重点信息的来源。
Overweight and obesity are escalating in epidemic proportions in the United States. Individuals with overweight and obesity are often reluctant to seek medical help, not only for weight reduction but also for any health issue because of perceived provider discrimination. Providers who are biased against individuals with obesity can hinder our nation's effort to effectively fight the obesity epidemic. By addressing weight bias in the provider setting, individuals affected by obesity may be more likely to engage in a meaningful and productive discussion of weight. Providers need to be the go-to source for obesity-focused information on new and emerging treatments.
