Obesity Reviews is a review journal publishing papers from all disciplines related to obesity. It should, therefore, appeal to all professionals with an interest in obesity, most particularly to endocrinologists, cardiologists, gastroenterologists, obstetricians but also rheumatologists, as well as health professionals working in general medicine and surgery. Furthermore, the journal will contribute to education and inter-professional developments by planning pro et con reviews on current controversies.
