Prise en charge de l'obésité : quel est le niveau de formation des médecins généralistes du département de la Haute-Vienne et comment perçoivent-ils leur pratique ?

The management of obese patients is an important part of GPs' activity. Their care habits are broadly consistent with recommendations for the diagnosis of obesity and weight loss goals. However, few practitioners are trained in nutrition, resulting in a high use of specialists and a low proportion of GPs managing their patients in a full-recommended manner. One of the main suggestions of GPs is to work on obesity with a better-structured environment.
