Our Network
World Obesity Federation is a membership organisation representing national and regional associations dedicated to the study and management of obesity and related comorbidities.
Our membership body currently comprises more than 80 associations in over 100 countries and territories.
Our members are organisations representing healthcare professionals, researchers, policy specialists and those with lived experience of obesity. As well as a membership programme for non-profit organisations, World Obesity runs a Champions programme for partners.
Prospective member organisations may apply for Full or Associate membership. Full Members are usually national obesity organisations, while Associate Members may be organisations working in related NCDs with a significant interest in obesity.
