Abstract
Only 1 in 50 patients with obesity received a prescription for an antiobesity medication. Moreover, in contrast to what the 1998 Guidelines suggested, physicians tended to prescribe antiobesity medications to self-paying, young, white females, many of whom lived in the South, and not all of whom had obesity.
