Obesity and weight management refers to the prevention, assessment, and treatment of excess body fat and the strategies used to achieve and maintain a healthier body weight. Obesity is a complex, multifactorial condition shaped by diet, physical activity, genetics, environment, and metabolic factors, and it is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, and other chronic conditions. Weight management encompasses dietary modification, physical activity, behavioural change, and, in some cases, medical or surgical intervention, with an emphasis on approaches that are sustainable and tailored to the individual. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to obesity and weight management published in the International Journal of Nutrition. On-topic work includes a study of the efficacy of a hypocaloric Mediterranean diet in overweight patients and the factors predictive of completion, an analysis of food intake patterns in obese older patients who achieved successful weight loss and maintenance based on food energy density, and a review examining the reversal of obesity and the quest for an optimum dietary regimen. Together these articles reflect the nutritional dimensions of weight management, including dietary composition, energy density, adherence, and the long-term maintenance of weight loss that are central to addressing obesity.
