In 2010, Public Health Ontario commissioned a literature review and synthesis of effective workplace and community interventions for adults and their impact on healthy eating, physical activity, and body mass index, and risk factors for diabetes. An earlier Ontario modelling study showed that middle-aged adults will contribute the greatest number of future incident cases of Type 2 diabetes in Canada. Building on the modelling study, this newly released literature review provides a synthesis of evidence for physical activity, eating behaviours and BMI focused workplace and community based interventions for adults aged 45 to 64. Comprehensive tobacco control in Ontario Evidence to Guide Action: Comprehensive Tobacco Control in Ontario is a report of the Smoke-Free Ontario-Scientific Advisory Committee (SFO-SAC). This report and its 59 recommendations represent the cumulative expertise of the leading tobacco control scientists, researchers and practitioners in Ontario.
