Why is it important?
We found a significant gap between patients' interest in weight management and the lack of healthcare provider recommendations, as well as a surprising absence of healthy eating goals despite a focus on physical improvements.
Perspectives
These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address these unmet needs and promote comprehensive weight management in the SCI population.
