| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding the pharmaceutical services in lifestyle modifications: overweight and obesity management. Introduction: Within the European Region, overweight and obesity states are responsible for approximately 55% of hypertensive disease, 80% of type 2 diabetes mellitus cases and 35% of ischaemic heart disease among adults. Community pharmacists are at an optimum position to help overweight and obese patients lose weight and reduce the risk of associated diseases, where they can offer tailored lifestyle modification advice and provide point-of-care testing services. Objectives: • To develop, implement and assess a weight monitoring program in pharmacies; • To analyse patients’ opinions regarding pharmacists’ intervention in weight control. |
