Top 40 Abstracts at ObesityWeek

ROCKVILLE, Md.—In recognition of The Obesity Society's (TOS) 40th anniversary, the organization has selected 40 scientific abstracts to highlight at ObesityWeek® 2022. This hybrid event, which serves as the Society's annual meeting, will take place Nov. 1–4, 2022 in person at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, Calif. and online at www.obesityweek.org

Innovative scientific research results will be presented in more than 700 oral and poster abstracts. These communications provide notable exposure and recognition for studies and authors, and are likely to have a significant impact on obesity prevention and treatment.

"TOS remains strong in its presentations of obesity science and related topics as it marks its 40th anniversary," said Kelly C. Allison, PhD, FAED, FTOS, director, Center for Weight and Eating Disorders; professor, Department of Psychiatry at the Perleman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. Allison is chair of the TOS Programming Committee.
