Our Goal: To reduce the prevalence of obesity through improved clinical care and support for obesity research funding.
The global obesity epidemic is on the rise, and endocrinologists are at the forefront of diagnosing its underlying causes and prescribing treatment plans. The Endocrine Society works to reduce the prevalence of obesity, identify policy options to address obesity, and advocate for access to affordable care. Learn more about the science of obesity and the obesity epidemic, by visiting the Obesity Topics page or reading our 2022 Thematic Issue on Obesity. Explore all of our obesity-related resources and initiatives at Focus on Obesity.
We are proud to champion Obesity Care Week #OCW2023 to raise awareness about obesity. Obesity Care Week was founded in 2015 and has a global vision for a society that understands, respects and accepts the complexities of obesity and values science and clinically-based care.
