SCOPE School Global: Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease
Oct 27, 2021The World Obesity Federation (WOF) is delighted to host its next SCOPE School Global in conjunction with the World Heart Federation (WHF).
Obesity and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality as well as reduced life expectancy.
Recognising the challenges in treatment for patients with co-existing CVD and obesity, the overall objective of this event is to understand the connection between CVD and obesity, while learning about clinical approaches that can help optimise treatment. Speakers will also discuss barriers for an effective treatment solution, the obesity paradox, understand the importance of recognising and supporting patients with obesity and CVD in long-term lifestyle changes. With a focus on global health problems, we will speak to these issues with the involvement of specialists in the obesity and cardiological field.
The SCOPE School will supplement a new, six-module learning path entitled Obesity and CVD: A Complex Relationship which will be made available via SCOPE E-Learning in the coming months. We advise all delegates to take these modules in advance of attending the school.
