Estimated pre-clinical and clinical obesity prevalence in U.S. adults in an employer-sponsored preventive check-up program

Date published: July 2025

This study aimed to assess updated pre-clinical and clinical obesity rates, based on the new clinical guidelines, using data from a U.S. employer-sponsored preventive checkup program.
