Obesity Research & Clinical Practice

Affiliated Societies: Asia Oceania Association for the Study of Obesity (AOASO), Australian and New Zealand Obesity Society (ANZOS), Taiwan Medical Association for the Study of Obesity (TMASO), and Korean Society for the Study of Obesity (KSSO)

The aim of Obesity Research & Clinical Practice (ORCP) is to publish high quality clinical and basic research relating to the epidemiology, mechanism, complications and treatment of obesity and the complication of obesity. Studies relating to the Asia Oceania region are particularly welcome, given the increasing burden of obesity in Asia Pacific, compounded by specific regional population-based and genetic issues, and the devastating personal and economic consequences. The journal aims to expose health care practitioners, clinical researchers, basic scientists, epidemiologists, and public health officials in the region to all areas of obesity research and practice. In addition to original research the ORCP publishes reviews, patient reports, short communications, and letters to the editor (including comments on published papers). The proceedings and abstracts of the Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Association for the Study of Obesity is published as a supplement each year.

Indexed by PubMed, MEDLINE, Thomson Reuters, and Scopus.

The journal is available online to TMASO and KSSO members, and is available by separate subscription.
