Health equity and obesity

Recognizing obesity as a chronic disease is a step towards health equity. Obesity is now officially recognized as a disease by the following organizations:

American Medical Association; American Association of Endocrinology; American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery; Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; National Institutes of Health; Obesity Action Coalition; Obesity Medicine Association; Strategies to Overcome and Prevent Obesity Alliance; The Obesity Society; World Health Organization; World Obesity Federation
