Description: Obesity is a chronic disease with deleterious effects on health and well-being, but BMI is an imperfect proxy for health risk. This symposium, hosted by the NIH Obesity Research Task Force and presented by renowned extramural investigators, will explore the heterogeneity of obesity, including risk for its development and complications, pathophysiology, and response to treatment, as well as implications for implementing obesity prevention and treatments.
