ANZOS OBESITY STATEMENT

We are committed to encouraging research into the various aspects of obesity as well as promoting a holistic approach to the prevention and management of obesity. We acknowledge that weight stigma remains a problem and work actively to spread awareness about the issues and language around obesity. We believe weight discrimination and blame are misplaced because most people have incorrect or incomplete notions about what causes obesity and how to manage it.
