Abstract
Prevalence of overweight and obesity among Scottish nurses is worryingly high, and significantly higher than those in other healthcare professionals and non-health related occupations. High prevalence of overweight and obesity potentially harms nurses' own health and hampers the effectiveness of nurses' health promotion role. Interventions are therefore urgently required to address overweight and obesity among the Scottish nursing workforce.
