CCFP 105 Topics: Obesity
Manage episode 390037822 series 2798948
Obesity Canada published a guideline in 2020 that we will be referring to a lot in this episode. It defines obesity as a chronic, progressive and relapsing disease characterized by the presence of adiposity that impairs health and social well-being.
So today you’ll learn what you need to know for the exam, but also some practical considerations for real life visits that take into account the pressures of diet culture, and how we as physicians can provide evidence based advice that doesn’t isolate and judge our patients. And because we know language matters, you’ll hear us use terms like “large bodies”, instead of saying someone is fat. There are advocates who have reclaimed the term fat, but today we’ll stick with medical jargon and terms aimed to avoid stigma.
