ASO welcomes the prioritisation of treatment options for people living with obesity but pharma is not a 'silver bullet'.

[Association for the Study of Obesity UK @UK_ASO]

The use of stigmatising language and images in the media and other settings is derogatory and has negative impacts for people living with obesity.

[EASO @EASOobesity]

Important new research from @EASOobesity! Our study in the @IntJObesity explores how common obesity language can be used by all stakeholders from policy to practice and research.

[Ada Garcia @DrAdaGarcia]

New paper by @charlmorayplace  @Gla_nutrition & @fredho42 shows that assessing malnutrition risk using the weight trajectory is no more informative in high risk populations than using the most recent weight; cheering as it is also the simplest approach!
