EASO represents the European obesity community
The leading voice of obesity science, medicine and community in Europe. We represent scientists, obesity specialists, physicians, health care practitioners and public health practitioners.
Established in 1986, EASO is a federation of professional membership associations from 38 countries.
The updated EASO framework redefines obesity as an adiposity-based chronic disease (ABCD) and emphasizes personalized, comprehensive evaluation and management to enhance health. It aligns obesity care with approaches used for other chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
