一直以来，大家都认为减肥就是“少吃多运动”，但是加拿大新发布的临床指南指出，治疗肥胖更应该关注肥胖的根源，尤其要杜绝对肥胖者的歧视。 Photo by Siora Photography on Unsplash Obesity should be defined by a person's health - not just their weight, says a new Canadian clinical guideline. 加拿大的一份新临床指南称，肥胖与否应该视健康状况而定，而不只是体重。 It also advises doctors to go beyond simply recommending diet and exercise. Instead, they should focus on the root causes of weight gain and take a holistic approach to health. 该指南还建议医生不要只是就膳食和锻炼给出医嘱，而应该关注肥胖的根源，从整体的视角来看待健康问题。 The guideline, which was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal on Tuesday, specifically admonished weight-related stigma against patients in the health system. 8月4日发表在《加拿大医学协会期刊》上的这一指南特别对医疗系统中针对肥胖症患者的歧视发出了警告。 Ximena Ramos-Salas, the director of research and policy at Obesity Canada and one of the guideline's authors, said research shows many doctors discriminate against obese patients, and that can lead to worse health outcomes irrespective of their weight. 该指南的作者之一、加拿大肥胖组织的研究和政策主任西米娜·拉莫斯-萨拉斯称，研究显示许多医生都歧视肥胖症患者，而这种歧视会令健康恶化，无论患者体重多少。 |
