Key Points:
- EDMONTON, Alberta, Nov. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadas leadership in obesity care and related research is on display in Latin America today, as several healthcare associations in Chile release adult obesity treatment guidelines (CPGs) built upon CPGs published in 2020 by Obesity Canada and the Canadian Association of Bariatric Physicians and Surgeons.
- The Chilean CPGs are the result of a pilot project launched in 2021 to assess the feasibility of adapting the Canadian adult obesity CPGs in two countries.
- Each country used an adaptation approach based on the GRADE methodology, a systematic process for assessing peer-reviewed scientific evidence, which was used to develop the original Canadian guidelines.
- For Canada, this project has allowed scientists and healthcare professionals to learn more about obesity care and how we can continue to update the guidelines through future collaborative research activities.
