The support of obese patients in primary care

[摘要] The Editorial and two articles1,2,3 in the September issue of the Journal highlight the current difficulties in encouraging and supporting patients with obesity to reduce weight and maintain the achieved weight. One paper highlighted the effectiveness of a ‘fourth level’ of support, comparing it to other less supportive levels which were ineffective, but recorded only four out of 28 patients receiving this support.
