I was delighted to present my work on #weightstigma at the #UCLPopHealthDomain Symposium today. For those who missed it (or would like another look) here is a summary of my talk with accompanying slides @UCL_BSH /1

“Individuals who inherit a more avid appetite are more likely to overeat in response to an obesogenic environment” Great talk from @Dr_C_Llewellyn on genetic and environmental influences on #obesity at #UCLPopHealthDomain Symposium on overweight and obesity. @UCL_BSH

Last talk of the day from Dr Ana Valdes - an education in the role of the gut #microbiome in #obesity and the potential benefits of taking “crapsules” 💩 #UCLPopHealthDomain

@annblandford talks apps for weight management. “If the user doesn’t use it, it doesn’t work” #digitalhealth #behaviourchange #UCLPopHealthDomain

Before we encourage people to walk we need to consider air quality, noise pollution, safety of pedestrian crossings, unpleasant roads to walk - Great UCL initiative #UCLPopHealthDomain #streetmobilityucl

Why schools are vital in local health interventions, learning from Wigan Public Health #UCLPopHealthDomain

Heritable differences in satiety responsiveness result in children eating different portion sizes, but changing environment is key (1/2) #UCLPopHealthDomain

‘Overweight and obesity epidemic and how to stop it?’ Registration now open for the #UCLPopHealthDomain on Tuesday 26 March. Showcasing population health research taking place at UCL, using obesity as an exemplar @ucl_slms https://t.co/urUymLqaEc

Physical activity gives health benefits even in the obese, exercise alone can reduce hepatic steatosis (but greater effects if additional weight loss) #UCLPopHealthDomain
