Pathophysiology and risk factors are actually a pretty much half of the curriculum for a separate medical specialty.

You are welcome.
I liked the book and it has relatively recent info. Combining it with Obesity Pillars articles, you can get a very good understanding of modern views on pathophysiology of obesity.

Basic level: https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/risk-factors/risk-factors.html
Moderate to deep:
Obesity Pillars journal (open access) https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/obesity-pillars
decent book: Handbook of Obesity 4th edition Vol 1 by George A. Bray and Claude Bouchar, available free on Anna’s Archive or can be bought on Amazon
Too deep (mostly for medical professionals) and more expensive: Course of lectures at Columbia university: https://www.ihn.cuimc.columbia.edu/education/continuing-medical-education-cme/columbia-cornell-obesity-medicine
Thank you for the detailed reply.
The CDC link was brief as you indicated.
The CME lectures I can’t afford.
I’ll grab the handbook and look over it.
