Given the significant increase in obesity rates and associated health risks, understanding obesity treatment in the context of disability is important to rehabilitation practitioners.
Published literature in the area of obesity research and clinical practice was reviewed within the medical, social and biopsychosocial conceptual models of disability.
There is universal agreement that disability is experienced by obese persons. However, interventions for rehabilitation practitioners are not articulated clearly in the literature. No specific conceptual model to underpin rehabilitation treatment is recommended.
This article provides a rationale for rehabilitation practitioners to use a biopsychosocial model (the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) as a universal framework to classify disability related to the condition of obesity.
鉴于肥胖率显著上升及其相关健康风险，对于康复从业者而言，在残疾背景下理解肥胖治疗至关重要。
在医学、社会和生物心理社会残疾概念模型的框架内，对肥胖研究和临床实践领域已发表的文献进行了综述。
人们普遍认为肥胖者存在残疾体验。然而，文献中并未清晰阐明针对康复从业者的干预措施。未推荐用于支持康复治疗的特定概念模型。
本文为康复从业者提供了一个依据，即使用生物心理社会模型（《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》）作为一个通用框架，对与肥胖状况相关的残疾进行分类。
