Special Issue on Obesity and Health

The terms "obesity" and "overweight" refer to body weight that’s greater than what is considered healthy for a certain height. The most commonly used measure of weight status today is the body mass index, or BMI.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring obesity and health. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Child obesity and adult obesity
• Obesity causes
• Economic costs
• Obesity-related diseases and conditions
• Globalization
• Obesity prevention strategies

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Obesity and Health” should be selected during your submission.
