Abstract:
Objective This study aims to explore the characteristics and weight loss motivations of patients in the medi-cal nutrition weight loss clinic of a hospital in Ningxia.Methods This study is a cross-sectional study.Patients who visited the medical weight loss clinic at Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region People's Hospital from April to September 2023 were selected as the study subjects.A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect patients'demographic information,lifestyle,weight loss ex-periences,and motivations.The characteristics of weight loss patients were analyzed.Furthermore,the patients were divided into two groups,improvement of health group and improvement of body shape group,based on their weight loss motivations,in order to study the characteristics of different motivational groups.Results A total of 160 subjects were included in the study,with 97 females(60.6％)and 63 males(39.4％).The average age was 29.66±11.89 years,weight was 89.11±16.54 kg,and BM1 was 31.15±4.44 kg/m2.Most patients had comorbidities,with fatty liver being the most common(57.5％),followed by hype-ruricemia(30.6％)and hyperlipidemia(23.8％).Common problems among patients included unhealthy dietary habits,lack of physical activity,and irregular sleep patterns.72.5％of patients had attempted weight loss multiple times,and among different weight loss methods,combined interventions had a higher effectiveness rate,but rebound rates were generally high.In terms of weight loss motivations,81 patients aimed to improve health,while 79 aimed to improve body shape.There were statistically sig-nificant differences(P＜0.05)between the two groups in terms of age,education level,occupation,duration of obesity,and medical history.Conclusion Patients in the medical nutrition weight loss clinic often have comorbidities and have experienced multiple weight loss attempts and weight rebounds.Motivational interviews help patients recognize the dangers of obesity,estab-lish a belief in health,and promote the formation of a healthy lifestyle.
