Recommendations for prevention of weight gain and use of behavioural and pharmacologic interventions to manage overweight and obesity in adults in primary care

The objective of this guideline is to provide evidence-based recommendations for structured interventions aimed at preventing weight gain in adults of normal weight and to provide recommendations for behavioural and pharmacologic interventions for weight loss to manage overweight and obesity in adults, including those at risk of type 2 diabetes. Strategies for maintaining health, such as increased physical fitness, that did not emphasize or consider weight loss, were not reviewed. The guideline does not apply to people with a BMI score of 40 or greater, who may benefit from specialized bariatric programs. This document updates prior guidelines by the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care, which were published in 1999 on treatment of obesity14 and in 2006 on prevention of obesity.1

The Nutrition North Canada (NNC) Programme

Launched on 1 April 2011, Nutrition North Canada (NNC) is a government of Canada subsidy programme that helps provide northerners in isolated communities with improved access to perishable, nutritious food. NNC provides a retail-based subsidy that enables local retailers and registered suppliers to access and lower the cost of perishable healthy foods like meat, fish, eggs, milk and bread, as well as fruit and vegetables, all of which must be transported by air to these isolated communities. NNC also subsidises commercially processed country or traditional foods such as Arctic char, muskox, and caribou. NNC has two subsidy levels: level 1, which is the higher subsidy, is granted to foods that are deemed the most perishable and most nutritious; while level 2, the lower subsidy, is applied to other staple food items. Eligibility is based on isolation factors and focuses on communities that lack year-round surface access (no permanent road, rail or marine access) requiring goods to be flown in. Effective 1 October 2016, 121 northern communities had full access to the NNC subsidy. Four criteria inform subsidy rates, which vary across communities: 1) geographical distance from the supply centre to the isolated community, 2) distance flown, 3) population according to the census, and 4) minimum wage. Residents in eligible communities can purchase subsidised food from registered northern retailers. Individuals, local restaurants and social institutions can also access the subsidy by ordering eligible items directly from registered suppliers. Retailers and suppliers are responsible for passing on the full subsidy to consumers and participate in regular compliance reviews as part of their agreement with the department of indigenous and northern affairs Canada. In order to increase programme transparency, on 1 April 2016, NNC implemented a mandatory point-of-sale system allowing customers to clearly see the application of the NNC subsidy on their grocery receipts.

A healthy city is an active city

This guide is designed to help city leaders create a plan for physical activity, active living and sport in their city or community. It can be used by local governments alone; however, efforts to develop and maintain active cities will be more successful if they take an integrated approach and involve a range of groups, including city departments, nongovernmental organizations, schools and educators, the health sector, the private sector and residents themselves. It is important that elected officials and neighbourhood leaders champion and endorse the plan.

ParticipACTION Report Card

The ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth (formerly the Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card) is an assessment tool for child and youth physical activity in Canada. The current ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth was released on June 9, 2015. The ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth identifies families as critical influencers in children’s physical activity and healthy habits. Right now, families are physically closer than they have been for generations, as we collectively stay home to help contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Restricted access to playgrounds, physical school, childcare and playdates means the family’s impact has never been greater, but it’s also more challenging than ever to develop and maintain healthy habits at-home.

CHEO's Centre for Healthy Active Living

The Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Centre for Healthy Active Living works with children and their families with complex severe obesity using a coordinated and patient-specific plan of care which includes specialists such as a paediatric endocrinologist, general paediatrician, psychologists, case management nurse, registered dietician, exercise specialist, social worker and child and youth counsellor. The CHAL program is family based and designed to be short and intensive, lasting approximately 2 years. This will give families adequate time to work closely with the CHAL specialists, participate in our group programing, and learn tools and strategies to best manage their weight and health over the long-term. Following the 2 years, families will return to the care of their family physician who will have ongoing access to the CHAL team for consultation.
