At the start of nearly every doctor's visit，chances are that you will be asked to get your weight measured for that day's exam record - and you would be hard-pressed to find a person whose physician has not brought up his or her weight at some point，and doctors' recommendations to drop pounds are still extremely common．But many conversations around weight have become a barrier，not a help，in the campaign to make people healthier．
    Higher body masses are associated with increased risk for hypertension，diabetes and coronary disease．Many studies have shown that heavier people are at higher risk for these illnesses．But the big picture is not the whole picture．Researchers have identified a smaller group of overweight people considered to be "metabolically （新陈代谢地） healthy" - meaning they do not exhibit high blood pressure or other diseases．
    Research over the past two decades has shown that health professionals have negative attitudes toward fat people．Some refuse to see these patients at all，as the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported in 2011．Such practices keep people from regular annual exams and prevent the finding of serious underlying conditions．Not only that but doctors' appointments with fat patients are shorter on average，and they routinely use negative words in their medical histories of such people．And research suggests that the stress of being a heavy person may cause metabolic changes that may lead to more poor health outcomes．
    To achieve better health outcomes，doctors should focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health instead of the weight-centric health care practice．And people of all sizes are entitled to evidence-based factors that empower them and keep them healthy．Lifestyle changes，such as eating fruits，vegetables and whole grains，along with increased physical activity，can improve blood pressure，levels and sensitivity - often independently of changes in body weight．
