Forecasts suggest that if European governments devoted existing resources allocated to weight management to more cost-effective approaches, some countries could save up to 60% of the cost of treating obesity.

Obesity is a chronic disease, yet care across Europe remains inconsistent. Bridging the gap between best practice and everyday care must be a priority.

Let’s act this #WorldObesityDay. #AddressingObesityTogether

[Bernadette Keenan (she/her) @JMBernK]

We forget at times, treatments for this disease are every bit as stigmatised as is the disease itself. This #WorldObesityDayEurope by #AddressingObesityTogether as HCPs & People Living with Obesity, let's change the narrative. @ICPObesity @ECPObesity @ASOIreland @EASOobesity

[EASO Early Career Network @EASOobesityECN]

Today on #WODEurope, we are on a mission to challenge misconceptions about obesity and the role it plays in a person’s health.

🇮🇪 Ireland is adding its voice to the European movement for #WorldObesityDay.

Featured next on the #WODEurope Live Feed, Susie Birney reflects on a stigma education event held in Ireland last week, where participants came together to learn, share experiences, and explore how greater understanding can help reduce the stigma faced by people living with obesity.

Events like this show how patient organisations across Europe are working to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and promote better care.

Together we continue #AddressingObesityTogether, recognising #obesity as the chronic disease it is.

[Global Heart Hub @GlobalHeartHub]

More than 1 billion people worldwide are living with obesity, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. On World Obesity Day, Global Heart Hub recognises the urgent need for fair access to prevention, timely diagnosis, specialist care and effective treatment for both obesity and its impact on heart health. 🩺

Different circumstances shape everyone’s journey with obesity. To make real progress, communities need targeted support, policies that address social and environmental factors, and care pathways that reflect the complexity of this chronic condition.


Obesity is influenced by systems, not personal failure. Inequities across countries and communities continue to determine health outcomes. Global Heart Hub supports #WorldObesityDay by highlighting patient voices, tackling stigma and advocating for policies that address root causes and enable healthier lives for all. 💜

The amazing @susieb16 from @ECPObesity at the @MEPObesityGroup event shares her personal story to help colleagues better understand her personal experience of living with obesity. ‘Obesity is the gateway’ is a theme that resonates.

We have to recognise that inaction on obesity perpetuates the #NCDs cycle.

Great to see familiar faces while here.
