Abstract

Obesity is one of the most common chronic conditions that clinicians encounter, and it is associated with many comorbidities. Many factors contribute to the development of obesity in any one individual. These include both forces within the individual’s control and macrolevel forces outside the individual’s control. The macrolevel forces include influences at the interpersonal, organizational, community, and society levels. Appreciating these many influences may help clinicians approach patients with obesity without bias or judgment, recognize the challenges they face, and treat them with respect.
