Obesity in adults: Clinical practice guideline adapted for Chile

The Chilean Society of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery, together with other scientific societies, led a process for adapting the Canadian clinical practice guideline for obesity in adults for Chile. The aim of the Canadian guideline, among its main objectives, was to propose changes in obesity management using a chronic disease framework and focusing on improving patient-centered health outcomes, rather than focusing on weight loss alone.

"Hoy empiezo a vivir sano" (Today I will start to live healthy)

“Hoy empiezo a vivir sano” (Today I will start to live healthy) is the slogan of a 2020 communications campaign launched by Elige Vivir Sano (Choose to live healthy). The campaign aired on mainstream media and social networks. It aimed to motivate people to make small changes in their routines to adopt healthier habits and combat excess weight and obesity, conditions that currently affect seven out of ten people over 15 years old in Chile. The actions being promoted include cooking as a family, prioritizing fruits as a snack, going for a walk, playing with children. These actions are easy to carry out and can have a significant impact on the quality of family life.

An evaluation of Chile’s Law of Food Labeling and Advertising

This study evaluated the effect of Chile's 2016 Law of Food Labelling and Advertising (Ley 20.606) on the purchase of sugar-sweetened beverages. This law mandated front-of-package warning labels, bans on child-directed advertising, and sales in school of all foods and beverages exceeding established limits on sugar, salt, saturated fat or calories. The researchers found that following the regulation's implementation, "the purchase volume of high-in beverages decreased by 22.8 mL per capita per day or 23.7%".

Using evidence-informed policies to tackleoverweight and obesity in Chile

Overweight and obesity are a global epidemic with rates having risen to alarming levels in both developed and developing countries. Chile has been no exemption, with sharp increases in obesity prevalence, especially among school-age children. This paper describes the policy actions and strategies implemented to tackle this major public health concern in Chile over the last 10 years, and highlights the main challenges and nuances of the process. Chile has taken policy action that includes front-of-package labelling, advertising regulations, and school-food restrictions. New policies focus on the social determinants of health as they relate to food environments and people’s behavior. These actions are not only suitable to the current context in Chile, but are also supported by the best available scientific evidence. Moreover, the implementation of these policies has produced a broad debate involving public institutions and the food industry, with discussions issues ranging from property rights to trade barriers. Despite some differences among stakeholders, a valuable political consensus has been achieved, and several international organizations are eager to evaluate the impact of these pioneer initiatives in Latin America.

Food Programmes (PNAC and PACAM)

These food programmes aim to provide nutritional support and maintain and improve access to healthy and safe food. The National Supplementary Food Programme (PNAC) is a universal programme that provides food to children under 6 years old, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, and people under 25 diagnosed with inborn errors of metabolism. It aims to promote breastfeeding, and prevent nutritional deficiencies in children and pregnant women. The Supplementary Food Programme for the Elderly (PACAM) distributes micronutrient-fortified foods to older people, with the aim of improving health and preventing and treating nutritional deficiencies.
