The emotive and personal nature of overweight and obesity, and the attitudes and beliefs of primary health care professionals also impact on the interaction. Education of primary health care professionals must address attitudes and beliefs about overweight and obesity. Education in the diagnosis of overweight and obesity and the acquisition of effective weight loss counselling skills is essential to improving interactions and the overall management of overweight and obesity.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Matthew Walsh<\/li>\n<li>Kathleen Fahy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>obesity, men, primary health care professionals, interaction<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Interaction between primary health care professionals and people who are overweight or obese: A&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4762,4760,4207,4761],"class_list":["post-7540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-interaction","tag-men","tag-obesity","tag-primary-health-care-professionals","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
