Preferences for Body Weight-Related Terminology for People Living with Obesity: Results from the ACTION-DK Study
The present study is the first to investigate PwO preference for weight-related terminology in a Danish setting, with findings overall in support of similar international studies. The identification of specific, acceptable terms, together with the proportion of respondents appreciating their HCP raising the topic of weight, indicate that respectful conversations between PwO and HCPs about weight are possible. However, HCPs should always enquire about an individual's preferences. .
