Aims and Scope

Our mission is to advance knowledge at the Intersection of Obesity, Endocrinology & Diabetes.

ABODE is dedicated to advancing scientific understanding and improving clinical and public-health approaches to metabolic and endocrine diseases.

With a strongly global perspective—and a particular commitment to research emerging from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)—ABODE supports innovations that are equitable, affordable, and scalable. The journal values methodological rigor, complete reporting, and reproducibility across all study types, from mechanistic biology to implementation research.

ABODE aims to serve as the central scholarly forum where biological discovery, clinical innovation, and population-health strategies converge to reshape the future of metabolic and endocrine care.

Key areas of focus Six domains

Key Areas of Focus

Pathophysiology

Hormonal regulation, insulin signalling, adipose biology, genetics, and environmental determinants of metabolic dysfunction.

Clinical Research

Diagnostics, therapeutics, disease-management strategies, and real-world effectiveness across diverse populations.

Lifestyle & Prevention

Evidence-based approaches to diet, physical activity, behavioural science, and long-term risk reduction.

Technology & Innovation

Digital health, wearables, artificial intelligence, telemedicine, and computational or systems-biology approaches.

Public Health & Policy

Systems-level interventions, implementation science, and strategies addressing global metabolic-health challenges.

LMIC-Relevant Research

Locally led studies addressing unique epidemiological patterns, resource-constrained delivery models, and context-specific innovations.
