Today is World Obesity Day. Obesity is recognised by the World Health Organisation as a complex, chronic disease influenced by genetics, environment and wider health systems. It is not simply a matter of individual choices.
Globally, over one billion people are living with obesity, and that number is projected to grow. Understanding the condition means moving beyond stigma and towards informed, compassionate care.
Clinical research plays a role in expanding what we know about metabolic health and in developing new approaches to prevention and treatment.
