This guide describes the care, support and overall follow-up of adults with overweight or obesity. It reasserts the importance of early identification, coupled with a lifestyle assessment. It details the role of professionals (health, social and medico-social field, adapted physical activity, occupational health) and looks at the situations in which the person’s primary care physician may consult them.
This work was conducted jointly with the French national health insurance fund, in the context of the healthcare system transformation strategy, to meet the objectives of the “Ma santé 2022” [“My Health 2022”] program. It was produced with the assistance of a multidisciplinary working group and patient association representatives drawing on an analysis on the international literature.
To help professionals assimilate this work, the HAS proposes a summary of the critical points in the care pathway, 14 key messages to improve practices, 8 toolkit guides reiterating the role of each professional and the arrangements for sharing information with the primary care physician.
