A person’s weight is an anthropometric measure factored into assessing health risk, not a measure of worth, ability, or overall health. Adult weight management is a spectrum of lifelong care services available for persons whose goals can be achieved through evidence-based, weight-related interventions and intersects most practice areas of nutrition. An adult weight management registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) is responsible for providing a psychologically safe, accessible, and respectful setting and empowering care to those seeking nutrition services.
