Multidisciplinary Approach to Obesity

  • 2149 Accesses

Abstract

Obesity is a long-term disease with high comorbidity with considerable impact on disability and quality of life. Rehabilitation of such patients requires a here-and-now multidimensional, comprehensive approach, where the intensity of rehabilitative treatments depends on the disability level and severity of comorbidities and consists of the simultaneous provision of physiotherapy, diet and nutritional support, psychological counseling, adapted physical activity, and specific nursing skills. A multidimensional approach able to provide frontline assessment and preventive strategies, risk stratification, and disease management is needed, and for that purpose, a team approach and the integration of several medical specialties, including clinical nutrition, endocrinology, psychiatry, and rehabilitation medicine encompassing different health professions, including dietitians, psychologists, physiotherapists, and nurses is required.
