Weight Management

Weight Management is a health intervention strategy within clinical and public health disciplines that involves the systematic application of behavioral, nutritional, and physical activity practices to achieve and sustain a healthy body weight, distinguishing it from related physiological or pathological weight-related processes by its focus on proactive, evidence-based regulation of energy balance across the lifespan.
