Physicians and trainees are not identifying or addressing overweight/obesity in hospitalized children, according to a study in The Journal of Pediatrics. Researchers reviewed charts for 300 children with overweight/obesity and found that physicians and trainees only identified it 8.3% of the time and only addressed it 4%. The study found that interns were the most likely to document overweight/obesity in the patient’s history.
