Obesity is common among children and young people, with potential for significant clinical consequences. The physical and psychological comorbidities associated with childhood obesity persist into adult life, but many children do not have access to tailored obesity services. We present a framework for the identification, assessment and management of childhood obesity by the non-specialist. We also offer strategies to initiate discussions about weight and to communicate effectively with patients living with obesity.
肥胖在儿童和青少年中很常见，可能会产生重大的临床后果。与儿童肥胖相关的身体和心理合并症会持续到成年期，但许多儿童无法获得针对肥胖的专门服务。我们提出了一种由非专业人员识别、评估和管理儿童肥胖的框架。我们还提供了一些策略，以启动有关体重的讨论，并与肥胖患者进行有效的沟通。
