"The Biggest Public Health Problem: Measuring and Addressing the Impact of Obesity on Cardiovascular Disease"
Department of Epidemiology Seminar Series
Dr. Mercedes Carnethon
April 6, 2023 | 12pm - 1pm | 3755 SPH I
1415 Washington Heights,
Ann Arbor MI, 48109
I will describe the current burden and trends in obesity across the lifecourse and discuss the challenges we face measuring obesity in population studies. The potential misclassification of obesity is a primary factor underlying the often paradoxical and conflicting observations of the role of obesity in health outcomes. Finally, I will discuss some of the social challenges related to obesity stigmatization and management at the population level.
