Perceptions of obesity: impact on care
Friday, 10 January, 2025

In this special episode, global obesity experts discuss key findings from a recent OPEN Global Survey which demonstrated that, despite growing public health messages about the health risks of obesity and the conclusion of major medical organizations that obesity is a disease, many healthcare professionals still do not consider it to be and harbour significant bias against their patients who live with obesity. The journal article entitled “Perceptions of Obesity Among Healthcare Professionals and Policy Makers in 2023: Results of the Global OPEN Survey” was published in Obesity, Science and Practice on 8 January 2025 and is available here: Perceptions of Obesity Among Healthcare Professionals and Policy Makers in 2023: Results of the Global OPEN Survey Hosted on Acast.
