Obesity is recognized as one of the significant social and health challenges today, provoking discussions about its definition. Different frameworks have been proposed to tackle obesity—from Health at Every Size (HAES), which values body diversity and health-promoting practices over weight loss, to the EASO Framework and The Lancet Commission, which offer distinct clinical and pathological perspectives respectively. These approaches highlight the varying dimensions of obesity, indicating that it's not just a medical issue but also deeply ties to societal attitudes, mental health, and quality of life.
Obesity is not simply a matter of numbers; it's a complex social challenge, requiring nuanced understanding and approaches that respect body diversity, emotions, and behaviors.
The three emerging frameworks illustrate the need for a comprehensive look at obesity, integrating social, medical, and emotional aspects to address this multifaceted issue.
