Obesity in France: Evolving Care Pathways, Innovations, and Market Perspectives
Obesity has become a major public health issue in France. It currently affects more than 8 million individuals, and prevalence continues to rise. Projections estimate that nearly 20 million French citizens could be living with obesity by 2030 [1].
Once regarded merely as a lifestyle concern, obesity is now recognized as a complex chronic disease. However, in France, this institutional recognition remains incomplete: the absence of official ALD (Affection Longue Durée) status restricts treatment reimbursement and hampers the development of a coordinated care pathway.
