Funded Activity Summary

Obesity is a major health problem with 30% of Australian adults being obese. Despite attention on the health impact of obesity and programs to reduce weight, maintaining weight loss is difficult. However, not all obese individuals are at higher risk of disease. This research will examine the behavioural and genetic factors of these individuals and their risk of disease. The findings may inform new treatments for obesity that focus less on weight loss and more on health.
