Aim & Scope
The aim of the Journal of Obesity and Fitness Management is to provide a comprehensive resource for researchers and practitioners working in the fields of obesity and fitness. Our scope encompasses a wide range of topics related to obesity prevention, treatment, and management, as well as the promotion of physical activity and fitness across the lifespan.
Specific areas of interest include:
- Obesity Epidemiology and Etiology: Studies investigating the prevalence, trends, and determinants of obesity, as well as the underlying genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors contributing to its development.
- Obesity Assessment and Measurement: Research on novel methods and techniques for assessing and measuring obesity, including body composition analysis, anthropometry, and biomarkers of metabolic health.
- Obesity Prevention and Intervention: Interventions aimed at preventing obesity and promoting healthy lifestyles across diverse populations, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. This may include dietary interventions, physical activity programs, behavioral therapy, and policy initiatives.
- Obesity Management and Treatment: Clinical studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of pharmacological, surgical, and lifestyle interventions for the management and treatment of obesity and its associated comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and sleep apnea.
- Physical Activity and Fitness: Research examining the role of physical activity and fitness in the prevention and management of obesity, as well as their effects on overall health and well-being. This may include studies on exercise prescription, fitness testing, exercise adherence, and the physiological mechanisms underlying exercise-induced weight loss.
- Psychosocial Aspects of Obesity: Investigations into the psychosocial determinants of obesity, including the impact of socioeconomic status, cultural factors, body image, stigma, and mental health on weight-related behaviors and outcomes.
- Public Health and Policy: Policy-oriented research and evaluations of public health interventions aimed at addressing the obesity epidemic, promoting healthy eating and active living environments, and reducing health disparities related to obesity.
By covering these diverse topics, the Journal of Obesity and Fitness Management aims to contribute to the development of effective strategies for combating obesity and promoting physical fitness, ultimately improving the health and well-being of individuals and populations worldwide.
