Abstract

Weight management is resource-intensive, requiring regular follow-ups to monitor progress and provide the motivation necessary for sustained behaviour change. Because adherence is a primary predictor of long-term success, this study assesses the adherence rates of patients attending a multidisciplinary weight management clinic within a university-based hospital setting.
