Welcome to Preliminary Research Evidence-OBESITY+. PRE-OBESITY+ is sponsored by the Canadian Obesity Network/Réseau canadien en obésité and provided by McMaster University’s Health Information Research Unit.

PRE-OBESITY+ complements the Online Best Evidence Service In Tackling obesitY+ (OBESITY+), which provides access to the current best clinically applicable evidence on obesity and its related metabolic and mechanical complications. PRE-OBESITY+ expands coverage to include preliminary clinical research evidence. Its purpose is to inform obesity researchers of current clinical care and preliminary clinical research as it is published, matched to your information needs.

You will find two types of articles on this site:

Clinical Care Research Articles
The best evidence relevant for clinical practice in the fields of medicine, nursing, dietetics, and rehabilitation, with a focus on or strength in obesity, identified from over 130 premier clinical journals. All citations are pre-rated for quality by research staff, then rated for clinical relevance and interest by at least 3 members of a worldwide panel of practising health professionals with an interest in obesity. These articles are also available on OBESITY+.

Preliminary Clinical Research Articles
Obesity research articles identified from over 130 premier journals that do not meet criteria for clinical readiness. They report an earlier stage of research in humans. These papers are not rated by the panel of health professionals.

Here's a description of what we offer:
