Welcome to the All About Obesity Research & Evidence Library, a place to explore the evidence behind obesity, from clinical trials in the UK and international research studies, to case studies, real-world evidence and emerging treatment data.
At All About Obesity, we know how difficult it can be to navigate the sheer volume of information, opinion and, at times, misinformation surrounding obesity. Our aim is to make evidence easier to access and understand by bringing together trusted research in one place, helping people living with obesity, healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers and advocates find reliable information more easily.
We hope this library helps support a better understanding of obesity as a complex, chronic disease, and makes it easier to access evidence that can inform care, conversations, policy and practice.
Please note: The information provided in this library is for educational purposes only and should not replace medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. If you have questions about your own health, please speak to a qualified healthcare professional.
