2021 in review: La Ligue Contre l’Obésité (LCO)

One of our French members, the League against Obesity, had many successes over the course of the previous year. 

In 2021, the League against Obesity continued its work in the fight against obesity: establishing a helpline for people living with obesity; forming a partnership with the “Barreau Solidaire des Avocats de Paris”, which brings together lawyers who offer pro-bono consultations; World Obesity Day 2021 with the French group Decathlon; a patient congress; launch of a training platform; and, last but not least, publishing the results of the “ObÉpi-Roche Ligue contre l'obésité” survey on the prevalence of obesity in metropolitan France, for the first time since 2012, including children (no data since 2000).
