Obesity is a complex syndrome with multifactorial etiopathogenesis, multifaceted clinical presentations, multidimensional therapeutic approaches, and multipronged treatment strategies. These create the need for a person-centred approach to the management of obesity. This opinion piece explores the spectrum of person-centred obesity care. The authors describe the person-centred nature of techniques used to detect obesity, the thresholds used to diagnose it, the tools (treatment strategies) used to manage it, and the therapeutic outcomes aimed for. The discussion highlights the vast spectrum of obesity and its impact on health, and underscores the need for healthcare professionals to take a person-centred approach to its evaluation and management.
