Viewpoint on National Institutes of Health clinical guidelines
Article Abstract:
The National Institutes of Health's document 'Clinical Guidelines on the Identification, Evaluation and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults' provides standards for primary care practitioners to follow when treating obesity in adult patients. This document is particularly useful for nutrition educators working with physicians as it quantifies the scope of health problems caused by obesity and overweight and reinforces common nutrition education messages. The document also acknowledges the important role played by other health care practitioners in working with patients.
