Health promotion intervention delivered by trained community health workers (CHWs) for obesity prevention and control among adult people: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Obesity is one of the most common diseases and is the main risk factor for the occurrence of other non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Obesity can be prevented and controlled, especially by adopting healthy behaviours, such as increased physical activity and healthy dietary patterns. The delivery of health promotion interventions by trained community health workers (CHWs) can be applied to obesity prevention and control based on the culture and local context. Our study aimed to map the health promotion interventions delivered by trained CHWs in the context of obesity prevention and control in community settings.

Methods
