Impact and scope of Mexican clinical practice guideline for adult overweight and obesity on weight stigma
Abstract
The new clinical practice guideline (CPG) for managing overweight and obesity in adults is the first obesity guideline in Mexico to be developed using a methodologically rigorous approach and through collaboration with patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) to ensure the recommendations are evidence-based, practical, and patient-centered.1 With 74.5% of Mexican adults living with overweight or obesity,2 this national CPG was urgently needed to direct the attention of policymakers and healthcare providers, and to support the development of evidence-based interventions within the Mexican health systems.
