Résumé
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. 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 One in four (26.4%) reported a diagnosis of obesity, but only 9.2% said they had received medically supervised obesity treatment. The majority (55%) agreed obesity makes managing their other chronic diseases challenging; 39% agreed their chronic disease(s) have progressed or gotten worse because of their obesity. While over half (54%) reported being aware that obesity is classified as a chronic disease, 78% responded obesity was their responsibility to manage on their own. Only 33% of respondents responded they have had success with obesity treatment. While awareness of obesity as a chronic disease is increasing, obesity care within the context of a wider chronic disease management model is suboptimal. More work remains to be done to make Canadian obesity guidelines standard for obesity care.

Background
UNASSIGNED
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
UNASSIGNED
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
Results
UNASSIGNED
One in four (26.4%) reported a diagnosis of obesity, but only 9.2% said they had received medically supervised obesity treatment. The majority (55%) agreed obesity makes managing their other chronic diseases challenging; 39% agreed their chronic disease(s) have progressed or gotten worse because of their obesity. While over half (54%) reported being aware that obesity is classified as a chronic disease, 78% responded obesity was their responsibility to manage on their own. Only 33% of respondents responded they have had success with obesity treatment.
Interpretation
UNASSIGNED
While awareness of obesity as a chronic disease is increasing, obesity care within the context of a wider chronic disease management model is suboptimal. More work remains to be done to make Canadian obesity guidelines standard for obesity care.
