The symposium that packed an auditorium at #ECO2024 yesterday dealt with the fundamental need to get beyond #BMI for defining clinical #obesity . It seems so simple. Yet untangling obesity from BMI presents real challenges.

Ted Kyle I wonder if it is better or worse in the US? (I suspect worse)

The educational cultures are substantially different. Here’s a comparison at the college level.

Why do I travel thousands of miles for #ECO2024 ? Many reasons. But in large part because brilliant people like Alina Constantin step up to teach me and the world about the #LivedExperience of#obesity. Thank you, Alina‼️

There are likely more obesity-related cancers than we originally thought. (preprint) H/t Ted Kyle deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?I…

ECPO The work of ECPO is so important because the true experts are the people living with obesity and for too long, our voices were not lifted up. Now that they are, progress is possible.

Don't miss the account of a lifetime of #progress in #obesity and coping with it, explored in great detail by Daniel Engber in the The Atlantic. It has been quite a journey.

New data from Germany illustrates how harsh #inequities in #health can grow wider because of #obesity , even though innovation should be bringing brighter prospects for everyone who is vulnerable to this chronic disease.

'Because so long as inequities in access persist, innovation in obesity care will fall far short of its potential.'

Amidst Innovation in #Obesity , Inequities Grow Wider - Ted Kyle conscienhealth.org/2024/05/amidst…

A pair of studies with #semaglutide at #ECO2024 in Venice goes straight to the heart of core questions about #obesity medicines. Does everyone need the full maximum dose for good results? Will everyone have to keep taking that dose to manage obesity?
