The editorial emphasizes that primary health care (PHC) is a key place for prevention, early diagnosis and long-term monitoring of obesity in its various dimensions.[1] It points out that PHC has the advantage of accessibility, long-term continuity, complexity and coordination of care, but is often underfunded and obesity is not seen as a priority.[1] A study on patients after bariatric surgery is mentioned, which revealed deficiencies in hospital discharge preparation, self-management and social support, and emphasized the need for a multidisciplinary approach and digital support systems in postoperative follow-up.[1] The editorial also reports work from the US on the experience of teams and patients with new antiobesity drugs, especially GLP‑1 receptor agonists, and the need for international consensus on prescription protocols, price regulation and restrictions on over-the-counter use.[1] Another two studies are devoted to the use of complementary and alternative procedures in health care for obesity.[1] The authors describe that the current health systems often provide a rather partial and technologically dependent answer, while PHC should be the center of relapse prevention, support of healthy habits and strengthening of autonomy of people with obesity.[1] The need for future research to better integrate lifestyle, people's relationships with food and the environment into the management of obesity in primary care is highlighted.[1]
