Why wait for obesity-related complications to develop before intervening? From EASD 2026 in Milan, Dr.Elisabeth van Rossum, professor of medicine and internist-endocrinologist at Erasmus MC, discusses why recognizing and treating overweight and obesity earlier in a patient’s journey may help change the trajectory of their health. She explores the importance of moving from a reactive approach toward earlier intervention, addressing excess adiposity and its metabolic consequences before additional obesity-related complications accumulate.
