Title of project:
Behavioural susceptibility to obesity in young adults: genetic and environmental determinants of eating behaviour
Proposal summary:
More and more people are facing health problems because of a body weight that is too high.
Eating more than really needed can lead to weight gain and, for some, avoiding overeating is particularly difficult. With this study, we want to figure out the many reasons behind this ‘difficulty’ (both genetic and non-genetic) and hope to inform more appropriate actions.
