What if better obesity care begins with understanding what’s driving the disease? From EASD 2026 in Milan, Dr. Elisabeth van Rossum, professor of medicine and internist-endocrinologist at Erasmus MC, discusses the importance of looking beyond body weight to identify the biological, hormonal, medication-related, psychological, social, lifestyle-related, genetic, and other factors that may contribute to obesity. She also introduces CheckCausesObesity.com, a freely available tool designed to help clinicians and patients systematically explore potential underlying and contributing factors and support a more individualized approach to obesity assessment and management.
