Obesity

Relevant articles from MA Healthcare journals to support your staff’s education and practice January 2018

Obesity is one of the biggest public health crises facing the UK today, affecting one in four UK adults. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of many other serious illnesses, such as Type 2 Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and infertility. Additionally, it can have a significant impact on a person’s wellbeing and mental health.
