Abstract

Objective: This ACTION-IO sub-analysis compared attitudes of people with obesity (PwO) and healthcare professionals (HCPs) between South Korea/Japan and global.

Methods: Responses from overall (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 25 kg/m²) and higher BMI (30.0-34.9 kg/m²) groups were compared descriptively; t-and z-tests were used to test for statistical significant difference.

Results: Total responses from South Korea/Japan vs global were as follows: overall (PwO: 3,501 vs 14,502; HCPs: 502 vs 2,785); higher BMI (PwO: 530 vs 7,460) groups. Compared to global, more South Korea/Japan-PwO considered improving existing health condition as top weight loss (WL) goal (overall: 37% vs 28%, higher BMI: 35% vs 26%; P < 0.05) and fear of weight regain as top WL barrier (overall: 52% vs 45%, higher BMI: 65% vs 42%; P < 0.05). Fewer South Korea/Japan-PwO reported discussing weight (overall: 25% vs 51%, higher BMI: 31% vs 54%; P < 0.05). More South Korea/Japan-HCPs felt PwO as themselves responsible for WL (74% vs 55%; P < 0.05). More than two-of-three South Korea/Japan-HCPs (vs four-of-five global) were motivated to help PwO in WL.

Conclusions: South Korea/Japan PwO had differences in their attitudes and behaviors toward obesity care. These findings support the need for increased public awareness of obesity as a disease and for HCPs to play active role initiating weight management dialogue.

期刊介绍： Journal of Diabetes Investigation is your core diabetes journal from Asia; the official journal of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). The journal publishes original research, country reports, commentaries, reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, letters, as well as editorials and news. Embracing clinical and experimental research in diabetes and related areas, the Journal of Diabetes Investigation includes aspects of prevention, treatment, as well as molecular aspects and pathophysiology. Translational research focused on the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers is also welcome. Journal of Diabetes Investigation is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
