Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on obesity and related metabolic disorders, examining their causes, consequences, and management. It covers topics such as lifestyle interventions, paternal influences on child obesity, mortality attributable to excess weight, and the role of intrapancreatic fat deposition in type 2 diabetes. The journal also explores autophagy dysregulation, food environments, liver and lung crosstalk in metabolic dysfunction, weight stigma, and the adoption of clinical guidelines for childhood obesity. Additionally, it investigates precision nutrition in gestational obesity, metabolic adaptations to GLP-1 receptor agonists, patient-centered goals beyond weight loss, brown adipose tissue function, early-onset colorectal cancer, and the interplay of obesity with diabetes and undernutrition, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. School meal programs and their impact on childhood obesity and food security are also discussed.
