Course overview
Adult Obesity: Prevention & Treatment is a 2-hour online continuing education (CE) course that provides nutrition professionals with evidence-based, non-biased information on the prevention and treatment of obesity in adults. Overweight and obesity constitute one of the nation's ten leading health indicators with nearly two-thirds of adults in the United States now classified as either overweight or obesity. Before any diet and physical activity program can be personalized and implemented, a nutrition assessment is needed, along with an understanding of the individual's readiness to change and motivation. Topics covered include: obesity synopsis; reimbursement considerations; nutrition assessment (diagnosis, intervention, monitoring, and evaluation); pharmacotherapy for weight-loss (prescription and OTC); and physical activity. Nutrition education handouts are included at the end of this course. Closeout Course #21-07 | 2015 | 18 pages | 14 posttest questions
