Funded Activity Summary

The research will investigate the causes of the increased risk of obesity among socioeconomically disadvantaged women and children. It will also focus on women and children who appear �resilient� to obesity and will explore the possibility of applying the lessons learned to other women and children, in order to help support them in adopting and maintaining obesity-protective behaviours. The research aims to provide evidence to inform policies and programs that should be put into place to prevent obesity among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups.
