Abstract
The International Conference on Obesity and Chronic Diseases (ICOCD-2025) conference brought together an international community of clinicians, basic scientists, surgeons, and behavioral researchers to address obesity as a complex, lifelong condition shaped by metabolic, psychological, social, and environmental forces. Across keynote lectures and scientific presentations, a consistent message emerged: effective obesity prevention and treatment require multidisciplinary, life-course–oriented strategies that extend beyond weight loss to encompass metabolic resilience, mental well-being, microbiome integrity, circadian biology, and sustained behavioral change.
