4th of March is World Obesity Day (WOD)

04.03.2026

Obesity is a complex disease influenced by biological, environmental and social factors, many of which lie beyond individual control. Recognising this complexity is essential to reduce stigma and to support effective, long-term prevention and care.

On World Obesity Day, we join the global call to address the root causes of obesity and create healthier environments for all.

SHIFT2HEALTH contributes to this effort by studying how work schedules, lifestyle and biological processes interact to influence obesity risk in shift-working populations across Europe.
