Objective: The aim of the study was to ascertain whether disagreement between GPs and patients on advice given on nutrition, exercise and weight loss is related to patient-doctor gender discordance.

Methods: The analysis used the Intermede project's quantitative data collected via mirrored questionnaires at the end of the consultation.
