Purpose
 
The purpose of these slides is to create a tool
for health care practitioners that:
1.
Identifies the Canadian recommendations for
obesity management and prevention that are
specific to the pediatric population 
and;
2.
Provides information on how to implement
each recommendation
»
This includes material directly from the Canadian
Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) as well as
supplementary information provided by the
contributors based on their professional expertise.

Etiology for the development of obesity in
childhood is complex and multifactorial
Balance of input (through nutrient intake) and
output (through physical activity) is fundamental
– but understanding the underpinnings of these
is most important
Recognized determinants for the development
of obesity occur across the lifespan – and both
genetics and environment are critical

negative bias and discrimination

Height
Should be measured to the nearest centimetre using
a stadiometer.
The patient should look straight ahead, stand as tall as
possible and take a deep breath while the measurement
is taken.
 
Weight
Should be measured to the nearest 0.1 kg with an
accurate, well-maintained physician’s scale.
The patient should be weighed in light clothing,
without footwear.

Waist Circumference
»
Among children and adolescents, waist circumference is
a good predictor of other measures of adiposity and risk
level for heart disease.

Further research is required to determine the clinical utility
of waist circumference and its association with health risks
independent of BMI.

Secondary causes (endocrine-or syndrome-related)

»
member of a high-risk ethnic group
»
family history of type 2 diabetes (especially if the child was exposed
to diabetes in utero)
»
acanthosisnigricans
»
polycystic ovarian syndrome
»
hypertension
»

We suggest that members of the health care
team discuss with those willing to participate

Goal-setting with family should be centered
around change in behaviour – not weight
A modest weight loss of 5–10% body weight
is beneficial
In growing child, weight maintenance
equivalent to weight loss
Weight maintenance and prevention of
weight regain should be considered long-
term goals

  1. Putting Evidence Into Practice: Management and Prevention of Pediatric Obesity in Canada A guide to the Pediatric components of the Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) on the Management and Prevention of Obesity in Adults & Children (CMAJ 2007) Developed: Spring 2010

  2. Purpose The purpose of these slides is to create a tool for health care practitioners that: 1. Identifies the Canadian recommendations for obesity management and prevention that are specific to the pediatric population and; 2. Provides information on how to implement each recommendation This includes material directly from the Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) as well as supplementary information provided by the contributors based on their professional expertise.

  25. Recommendations for Managing Childhood Obesity 4 Measuring Height and Weight in Children Height Should be measured to the nearest centimetre using a stadiometer.
