about

About Us

The International Obesity Alliance (IOA) is a global network dedicated to preventing and managing obesity and overweight through innovation, research, and community engagement.

We unite healthcare providers, policymakers, businesses, researchers, and civil society to create data-driven, evidence-based strategies that empower individuals and societies to achieve better health outcomes.

At the IOA, we envision a comprehensive strategy that breaks free from outdated, reactive tactics. Our work captures the full continuum of obesity:

Individuals with clinical obesity who often struggle to access effective treatments, including medical therapies, digital tools, and a skilled healthcare workforce

People at risk—those with pre-clinical obesity who currently slip through the cracks of existing systems.

Everyone carrying excess weight, a group at high risk of advancing toward more serious obesity-related health challenges.
