Everything the Society does is done by and for people like you. Every action we take supports professionals in the obesity field and people who are impacted by obesity around the globe.

Whatever your perspective—scientific, clinical, public health, economic, personal or any other—you are dealing every day with an intractable worldwide epidemic. You know, as we do, that obesity affects individuals, families, friends and neighbors, and countless communities and societies everywhere.

Our Society has been charged with advancing the science-based understanding of the causes, consequences, prevention and treatment of obesity. In other words, it’s our mission to help people like you continue your indispensable efforts.

Given the challenge and the urgent need, this is no small task.
