摘要
Weight stigma is widespread across all levels of society, including health care. Misconceptions persist that obesity is solely a personal choice, easily resolved through lifestyle changes, and that using adjunct therapies is an "easy way out."

Therefore, health care professionals should adopt a weight-inclusive approach when caring for patients with obesity
