The ESADE Alumni Healthcare and Pharma Club is pleased to announce their forthcoming talk, “Is obesity just a public health issue?
Obesity has become a public health problem in all developed and developing countries due to the high percentage of the affected population and the impact on other chronic diseases.
Although the impact of excess weight is a current topic of discussion, and its real origin is debatable, the population’s eating habits and physical exercise are undeniably important because they help balance the individual’s energy requirements.
Any action plan must entail a well-rounded, well-designed approach, synergies able to interact with different life style factors, and also the creation of environments to make it easier for people to gradually adopt these healthy lifestyles.
The actions and initiatives implemented to achieve these goals are sometimes complex and call for the involvement of the health authorities and also the cooperation of the general public, the private sector and the media.
This discussion between officers in charge of different areas related to specific habits and life styles will reveal the agents active in this field and the most crucial factors when planning coordinated campaigns to deal with excess weight and obesity in today’s society.
Members may bring a guest
