Aim: The purpose of this study was to give obese patients diet and exercise program and behavior modification who had admitted to the outpatient clinic in primary care, to lose 5-10% of their weight within 6 months. Methods: This study was performed at March 2017- March 2018 in Erciyes University Family Medicine Department with the approval of the ethics committee and with the support of the Scientific Research Projects (ERUBAP, Project No. TTU-2016-7091). Patients with body mass index 30-40 kg/m2 between the ages of 18-65 who applied to the family medicine polyclinic were included in the study. Diets were initiated according to baseline metabolic rates, exercise and fluid consumption recommendations were made, and behavior modification were told. Results: In the observation group 2 people (10%) had lost more than 10% of their weight; 10 people (50%) had lost 5-10%, and the remaining 40% had lost 1-5% of their weight. On average, 5.2 (92.3±2.63 to 87.1±2.44) kg were lost at 3 months, while this was 4.3 kg (88.00±2.62) at 6 months. The weight loss of the patients in the first 3 months was above expectations. Afterwards, however, the patients had a slight weight regain due to difficulties in diet compliance and not having enough time for exercise, but they did not return to their starting weight at the end of the study. Conclusion: It has been observed that obesity care could be done in primary care and family physicians should be encouraged to do so.

SummaryFamily planning is not being practised in Wadi Turaba in western Saudi Arabia, which is a Bedouin community with different stages of settlement. Children are wanted in the family, and the more children, especially boys, the better the social status of the family in the community. The desire of a mother for more children does not appear to be affected by her age group, history of previous marriages or history of previous pregnancies.Knowledge about contraceptives practically does not exist, except on a small scale in the settled community. Every woman, following the Koranic teachings, weans her child exactly at the age of 2 years, which obviously leads to the spacing of births. In rather rare situations, coitus interruptus is practised.

Lifestyle interventions are recognized as essential in the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases. Previous studies have shown that Portuguese patients tend to give more importance to diagnostic and laboratory tests than to lifestyle measures, and seem unaware that behavioral risks are the main modifiable risk factors. The study aimed to analyze patients’ perspectives about lifestyle behaviors and health in the context of family medicine in Portugal. A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out in Portugal (the mainland). A total of 900 Portuguese patients aged ≥20 years, representative of the population, were surveyed using face-to-face questionnaires. Participants were selected by the random route method. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were performed to evaluate differences between the personal beliefs and the personal behavior self-assessment, as well as between the level of importance given to the family doctor to address health behaviors and the reported approach implemented by the family doctor, and its association with bio-demographic variables. The results indicate that the vast majority of this Portuguese cohort has informed beliefs regarding lifestyle behaviors, tends to overestimate their own behavior self-assessment, and strongly agrees that it is important that their family doctor asks/advises on these lifestyle behaviors, although the proportion of those who totally agree that their family doctor usually does this is significantly lower. Differences concerning bio-demographic variables were found. Future research directions should focus on the politics, economics, and policy aspects that may have an impact in this area. It will also be important to understand more broadly the relationships between lifestyle behaviors and clinical, physical, and sociodemographic variables.
