MET’HOOD project: Interview of Marion Tharrey (French)

Marion Tharrey (LISER & LIH) presents the MET’HOOD project and why it is important to study ‘green spaces’ in relation to cardio-metabolic health.

Launched in 2021, MET’HOOD (Time-variant residential neighborhood effects on cardio-metabolic health) is a research project supported by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (C20/BM/14787166). The project, conducted jointly by the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER) and the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH) explores how change in the built, natural and socio-economic characteristics of residential neighborhoods over 10 years in Luxembourg is associated with the metabolic syndrome and behavioral cardio-metabolic risk factors such as diet and physical activity.
