Abstract in brief

  • General practitioners (GPs) in Germany view the quality of care for obese patients as below average and tend to have stigmatizing attitudes toward these patients.
  • Younger GPs, male doctors, and those who refer fewer patients to specialists are more likely to hold stigmatizing beliefs about obesity.
  • Weight-related stigma can negatively affect treatment, and providing obesity management guides could help reduce stigma and improve patient care in primary health settings.
