World Obesity Federation operates as a not-for-profit umbrella organization that connects more than 50 regional and national obesity associations, comprising 52 member associations across 56 countries. Through this global network, it engages more than 10,000 professionals in science, medicine, and research, providing access to current prevalence data and developments in obesity research. Its mission is to improve global health by promoting understanding of obesity and related weight-related diseases through scientific inquiry and dialogue, and by supporting the creation of effective prevention and management policies. Based in London, United Kingdom, the federation functions as a central resource within the non-profit sector, serving governments, professionals, and media seeking authoritative information on obesity trends and policy-relevant research. In April 2026, it partnered with multiple Indian health organizations to host a national MAPPS II multisectoral roundtable in New Delhi, reflecting ongoing international collaboration to advance obesity prevention and care.
