Childhood Obesity: An International Perspective
FY 2009-10
Summary
Obesity is a progressing health problem worldwide. Rates are increasing at a fast pace in both children and adults. The key behavioural factors contributing to obesity (nutrition, physical inactivity) are well established; however, the relative importance and the degree to which these determinants differ internationally needs further investigation.
The objective of this PhD research is to gain an international perspective on childhood obesity.
