On Thursday 12 December at 14:00, Rasmus Møller Jørgensen defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Evaluating the long-term effect of family-centered lifestyle interventions and the natural development of obesity - a real-life follow-up of Danish children living with obesity".
This PhD study explores the research opportunities of using existing data to follow children with obesity in a real-life setting. The aim was to investigate the long-term effect of already implemented municipality-driven lifestyle interventions and to better understand mechanisms related to the weight development in children already classified as having obesity.
The PhD study was conducted by combining the national registers with measures of weight and height obtained at the schools, hereby allowing the researchers to follow the individual child throughout childhood.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in Verdensrummet (A201-170), Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
