Improvement of Metabolic Profile of Obesity and Obesity-Related Injury

Dear Colleagues,

Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by excessive adipose tissue accumulation in the body. Its prevalence has significantly increased in recent decades. The causes of obesity are multifactorial and involve the interaction of genetic, metabolic, social, behavioral, and cultural factors.

Obesity has emerged as a significant public health issue due to its numerous health consequences, which range from an elevated risk of premature death to the development of serious conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, cancer, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular diseases. These conditions directly impact the quality of life of affected individuals.

Therefore, this Special Issue aims to address the need for a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying obesity and its related diseases. Additionally, it aims to explore therapeutic and preventive strategies for these conditions.
