Obesity poses significant risks to musculoskeletal health, contributing to conditions like osteoarthritis and back pain, which are often overlooked compared to its cardiovascular and metabolic impacts. Rising obesity rates in Europe highlight the urgency for better public health strategies that address dietary habits and physical activity as means to combat obesity, especially in individuals with existing musculoskeletal issues. Integrated efforts among healthcare providers can promote healthier lifestyles to mitigate the overall health burden associated with obesity.
