In summary, the Policy Position Statement says:
- Effectively treating obesity significantly contributes to lowering prevalence and severity of over 230 complications of obesity notably prevention of other major NCDs, including Type 2 Diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and 20% of cancers.
- Obesity treatment, long term clinical management and prevention strategies should be integral to COVID-19 Recovery Plans and as part of the “new reality”
- Obesity should be formally recognised as a high risk pre-existing condition for severity of COVID-19 complications, and included in the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) Guidelines
- Obesity scientific and patient communities should be included in COVID-19 treatment and vaccines development and discovery
- The EU should facilitate development of a harmonised framework of National Plans for obesity, as is the case with other major NCDs
