The lack of standardization in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) has made measurement and comparison of quality of life (QoL) outcomes in research focused on obesity treatment challenging. This study reports on the results of the second and third global multidisciplinary Standardizing Quality of life measures in Obesity Treatment (S.Q.

One-on-one interviews and online surveys guided by the Theoretical Domains Framework were conducted. A total of 20 general/family practitioners were interviewed and 200 general/family practitioners were surveyed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: The focus of measuring success in obesity treatment is shifting from weight loss to patients' health and quality of life. The objective of this study was to select a core set of patient-reported outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures to be used in clinical obesity care.
Materials And Methods: The Standardizing Quality of Life in Obesity Treatment III, face-to-face hybrid consensus meeting, including people living with obesity as well as healthcare providers, was held in Maastricht, the Netherlands, in 2022.
Aims: To identify and better understand themes related to why people living with obesity (PwO) in Canada may not use professional support and to explore potential strategies to address the challenges.
Methods: One-on-one interviews and online surveys, informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework, were conducted. A total of 20 PwO were interviewed and a separate group of 200 PwO were surveyed.
Background: Approximately 15% of Canadian adults live with two or more chronic diseases, many of which are obesity related. The degree to which Canadian obesity treatment guidelines are integrated into chronic disease management is unknown.
Methods: We conducted a 12-min online survey among a non-probability sample of 2506 adult Canadians who met at least one of the following criteria: 1) BMI ≥30 kg/m; 2) medical diagnosis of obesity; 3) undergone medically supervised treatment for obesity; or 4) a belief that excess/abnormal adipose tissue impairs their health.
Article Synopsis
- - The Canadian Adult Obesity Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG), released in August 2020, redefined obesity based on health rather than size and aimed to reduce weight bias and stigma, emphasizing the lived experiences of affected individuals.
- - A pilot project was carried out in Chile and Ireland to test the feasibility of adapting these guidelines, utilizing different frameworks for their specific contexts, and showing quicker adaptation times compared to the original Canadian process.
- - The successful adaptation proves that such guidelines can be modified for use in diverse healthcare systems while preserving core principles, including treating obesity as a chronic disease and focusing on health improvements over mere weight loss.

Can J Public Health
September 2013
Objective: The objective of the current study was to identify what forms of anthropometric measurement are currently being utilized with Canadian children and youth and what are the gaps in the literature on this topic.
Methods: The current study utilized a scoping review methodology in order to achieve the study objectives. Online databases Medline and PubMed and CINAHL were used to search articles from the last decade (2002-2012) that addressed Canadian children aged 2-18 years.
