“…[18][19][20] However, in Italy, obesity prevalence is almost twice as high, particularly in the southern region. 21 It therefore comes as no surprise that most primary care physicians in our survey agreed that childhood obesity management is relevant for primary care and that the highest rates were reported among the Italian physicians.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Health care professionals face problems managing obesity and often fail to follow guidelines for its management in practice. Only a few singlecountry reports are available describing delivery of primary care to children with obesity. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Nearly all primary pediatric care providers from 4 European countries recognize the importance of obesity in pediatric practice, but only half use BMI clinically, and many lack the confidence and the infrastructure needed for providing care to patients with obesity. abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine and compare attitudes, skills, and practices in childhood obesity management in 4 European countries with different obesity prevalence, health care systems, and economic situations. METHODS:A cross-sectional survey was distributed to primary health care providers from France, Italy, Poland, and Ukraine. The questionnaire was returned by 1119 participants with a response rate of 32.4%. RESULTS:The study revealed that most of the primary health care providers were convinced of their critical role in obesity management but did not feel sufficiently competent to perform effectively. The adherence to recommended practices such as routine weight and height measurements, BMI calculation, and plotting growth parameters on recommended growth charts was poor. Most primary health care providers recognized the need for continuing professional education in obesity management, stressing the importance of appropriate dietary counseling. CONCLUSIONS:The study underlines insufficient implementation of national guidelines for management of obesity regardless of the country and its health system. It also makes clear that the critical problem is not elaboration of guidelines but rather creating support systems for implementation of the medical standards among the primary care practitioners.

“…3 Two studies, based on the same protocol, were conducted simultaneously in France and in Poland and their results were published in 2002 4 and 2005. 5 In 2002, a book entitled 'Child and Adolescent Obesity' resulted from the common work of the entire Group. 6 Metaanalysis of childhood obesity prevalence and meta-analysis of diabetes type 2 prevalence in European children were made possible owing to the data provided mostly by the ECOG members.…”
