Overview
This guideline, maintained by Obesity Canada, provides evidence-based recommendations and good practice statements to support providers of health care to children (up to age 18) with obesity. Additionally, the guideline may be useful for families (children living with obesity and their caregivers) and health care policymakers. This guideline does not address the primary prevention of obesity in children. An infographic with tools to guide conversations is available.
