Talking about Weight Loss to Patients Who Have Arthritis and Are Overweight or Have Obesity
A study released in the May 4th edition of CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report found that the percentage of healthcare providers who gave weight loss counseling to their adult patients with arthritis increased from approximately 35% in 2002 to 45.5% in 2014. Still, over half of adults who have arthritis and are overweight or have obesity are not receiving healthcare provider counseling to lose weight.
Healthcare providers are encouraged to talk to their patients about physical activity as an option to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight.
