Funded Activity Summary

Health and obesity are socially patterned, with lower socio-economic status associated with worse health and higher obesity prevalence. With its high, and increasing prevalence, obesity is likely to be a substantial contributor to increased social inequalities in health. I will estimate the contribution of current obesity trends to social inequalities in diabetes and cardiovascular disease in Australian adults, and identify obesity prevention and management strategies most likely to reduce social inequalities in these major health outcomes.
