Obesity is a heterogeneous complex disorder of multiple aetiologies characterised by excessive
accumulation of body fat that threatens or affects socioeconomic, mental or physical health. We will
target women with obesity and obesity-related pathologies and describe patients with altered body
composition, cardiometabolic health and increase visceral adipose tissue within premenopausal
and postmenopausal women. We further aim to detail the causes of obesity in women and describe
existing and innovative strategies to educate women in order to adapt to a lifestyle change as well as
describe pharmaceutical developments which help in weight loss in all ages.
