A new book produced by the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre has challenged existing approaches to diabetes and obesity treatments and presented a strategy with the potential to revolutionise the way our society approaches weight management.
In A Modern Epidemic - Expert Perspectives on Obesity and Diabetes, researchers and clinicians from across the University and elsewhere have joined forces to tackle these major health challenges from a more holistic perspective. They have offered expert strategies to help address the high social and economic costs to the community.
Charles Perkins Centre Academic Director, Professor Stephen Simpson said diabetes, obesity and their related diseases together made up one of the greatest challenges to human health in the 21st century.
"Obesity and diabetes are not just problems for the individual, they pose risks to the environmental, psychological and economic stability of the entire community," he said.
