Editorial: Obesogens in the XXI century: Emerging health challenges Volume II

Abstract

Obesity is a multifactorial disease considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most important public health challenges of the 21st century (1). Given its complex etiology, obesity prevention and treatment are very complex. It is, therefore, essential to understand all the drivers and molecular mechanisms associated with this complex disease. This Research Topic builds upon a previous one (2) and aims to further contribute with cutting-edge data from the molecular basis to the clinical perspective, including mechanisms, associated diseases, public health data, and recent breakthroughs in obesity related research.
