Abstract
In response to the Ewald et al article ‘Quantifying the benefits and harms of various preventive health activities’ (AJGP December 2018),1 we would like to comment on the benefits and harms attributed to weight loss. Tools to aid discussion about preventive health activities are welcome. But while the article provides useful information for health service prioritisation, it is of limited assistance for discussing individual risk with patients as risk is presented as a population-based statistic.
