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.

Obesity Reviews is a official review journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, which has over 10,000 members, in more than 50 countries, with a rapidly increasing membership status.

A special subscription rate is available for individuals who are members of the national associations under the umbrella of the International Association for the Study of Obesity.

The journal is published on a bi-monthly basis. The Editorial policy is to minimize the period between submission and publication of reviews, while retaining high standards of quality exercised by peer review.

The journal is included in the information retrieval systems Index Medicus and Medline.
