Obesity Reviews is a monthly journal publishing reviews on all disciplines related to obesity and its comorbidities.
This includes basic and behavioral sciences, clinical treatment and outcomes, epidemiology, prevention and public health.
The journal should, therefore, appeal to all professionals with an interest in obesity and its comorbidities.

Prevalence studies that compare (review) trends across countries or regions or across ethnic groups or relevant subpopulations and provide novel insights and/or conclusions will be considered.
The journal also invites short reviews presenting original or challenging theories, hypotheses or alternative interpretations of findings.
Case reports presenting important and novel information and Letters to the Editor are also welcome.
The journal will contribute to education and inter-professional developments by planning pro and con reviews on current controversies.
The editorial policy is to publish high quality peer-reviewed manuscripts that provide needed new insight into all aspects of obesity and its related comorbidities while minimizing the period between submission and publication.

A special subscription rate is available for individuals who are members of their national associations under the umbrella of WO.
