[Is the individual motivational interviewing effective in overweight and obesity treatment? A systematic review].

CONCLUSIONS: Individual MI interventions have a modest effect on the variation of bodyweight, and could have a positive impact on behavioral, psychosocial, and other variables. More studies are needed to elucidate the best form of MI application with regard to effectiveness on different variables. The primary healthcare system is in an advantageous position for generating fruitful research on this motivational strategy. PMID: 30360916 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
