Obesity is a medical condition that may be associated with bias among health care professionals, and this bias may result in disrespectful or inadequate care of patients with obesity. Obstetrician-gynecologists regularly care for patients with obesity and play an integral role in advocating for best practices in health care and optimizing health outcomes for patients with obesity. Obstetrician-gynecologists should be prepared to care for their patients with obesity in a nonjudgmental manner, being cognizant of the medical and societal implications of obesity. This Committee Opinion has been updated from its previous version to focus on obesity bias within the medical community and to provide practical guidance using people-first language instead of labels (ie, "patients with obesity" versus "obese patients") to help obstetrician-gynecologists deliver effective, compassionate medical care that meets the needs of patients with obesity.
肥胖是一种可能与医疗保健专业人员偏见相关的医学状况，这种偏见可能导致对肥胖患者的不尊重或不充分的护理。妇产科医生经常为肥胖患者提供护理，并在倡导医疗保健最佳实践和优化肥胖患者健康结果方面发挥着不可或缺的作用。妇产科医生应该准备以非评判的方式为肥胖患者提供护理，了解肥胖的医学和社会影响。本委员会意见已从之前的版本进行了更新，重点关注医疗界内的肥胖偏见，并使用“以人为主”的语言而不是标签（即“肥胖患者”而不是“肥胖患者”）提供实用指导，以帮助妇产科医生提供满足肥胖患者需求的有效、富有同情心的医疗护理。
