ABSTRACT

Obesity is one of the most pressing pandemics of the 21^st century, driven by a complex interplay of biological, social, economic and environmental factors. The evolution of obesity-related statistics is a growing concern that demands a coordinated response from different sectors. Recent scientific advances and pharmacotherapy innovations in obesity are encouraging; however, there are major challenges: high costs, ethical dilemmas, industry pressure and social stigma fueled by social networks and diet fads. This commentary emphasizes the urgent need for smarter strategies and reflects on how scientific advice could strengthen decision making surrounding obesity management. Scientific advice has a key role to play, if we are willing to listen.
