SUMMARY:Navigating the Biological and Health Care Complexities of Obesity in Women
DESCRIPTION:The complexities of metabolic health affect women differently than men throughout their lifespan\, especially during major hormonal transitions like puberty\, pregnancy\, and menopause. With one in three adults being overweight and more than two in five having obesity\, women have almost a two-fold higher prevalence of severe obesity compared to men. Women face unique challenges in managing obesity due to biology\, societal stigma\, and certain risk factors and comorbidities that can have significant impacts on their health care outcomes. Inflammation\, for example\, is an underlying factor associated with obesity that can exacerbate comorbidities and complicate treatment strategies. As obesity rates continue to rise in the United States\, it is critical to elucidate how obesity care can reduce disparities and chronic conditions for women\, as well as address persistent barriers to prevention and health care. \nThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) convened an interdisciplinary Obesity Working Group of researchers\, health care providers\, patient advocates\, and policy professionals for a closed\, roundtable meeting and congressional briefing in July 2025. During this closed roundtable event\, the Working Group discussed the intersection of obesity and women’s health\, with an emphasis on improving understanding about comorbidities\, interventions\, and outcomes for women living with obesity.
