Guidelines

*** New guidelines for the treatment of overweight and obesity ***
Overweight and obesity are worthy of proper diagnostics on the potential causes, of support and treatment for weight and weight-related health management and of a personalized approach.

The development of the revised guideline was initiated and led by the Partnership Overweight Netherlands (for the adult part) and Care for Obesity (for the child part), in collaboration with many professional and patient organizations and with support from the Knowledge Institute of the Federation of Medical Specialists. The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) funded the revision of the guideline as part of the National Prevention Agreement.
