According to the World Health Organization obesity is one of the most serious public health problems in the world today . It is a chronic disease characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in the body , with etymology multifactorial and numerous associated complications. With high rates of morbidity and mortality , obesity is considered an epidemic of the XXI century global . More than 56 % of the population suffers from being overweight . Obesity treatment is done by various approaches being multimethodological . There is a great difficulty for most people to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight . This study aimed to construct a proposal for inclusion of families of obese adults in the treatment of the same . From working with a Group Weight Control what happens for several years in a public health institution in the Federal District , coordinated by a team of health professionals , the study had two phases : the first was a detailed description of the procedures used by that group, and the second based on this description and in the theoretical framework , was developed a proposal for inclusion of families in the program that had only the share of obese adults . In the first part of an interview was conducted with each participant 's professional team, focusing on the functions of each and the procedures in which they participate . The interviews were conducted in the premises of the facility and were made by the researcher . It was suggested the name of Program Quality of Life for Obese Adults , replacing the previous Group Weight control , understanding that the proposal is a change in lifestyle and in family and social relationships , and not just related to weight control . The inclusion of the family in the program is based on the theoretical framework of systemic approach and research that has shown the importance of the family in prevention, treatment and care of both children and adolescents and adults with obesity problems . The proposal includes the use of the methodology of Multifamily Groups - GM , recognized as an important tool for working with families in different contexts . 4 are proposed GM meetings , each with specific objectives and theme . The suggested topics are: feeding the family , family dynamics , communication and expression of affection among family members , diagnosis and treatment of obesity and support networks . The proposal should be discussed with the transdisciplinary team that coordinated the program and may undergo changes . The central and most important point , however , is the inclusion of the family in the treatment of obese adults , not only to support the family in treatment , but also as a patient , because we consider the disease as a family problem , not an individual.
