Abstract

In 2015, obesity was declared by the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) and other global health organizations (World Health Organization [WHO], World Obesity Federation and the American Medical Association [AMA]) to be a chronic, relapsing and remitting disease caused by the deposition of adipose tissue in organ systems within the body leading to dysfunction and adverse health outcomes. Obesity should be medically addressed no differently than other chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension or coronary artery disease.
