Скачать или смотреть World Obesity Day 2023 | Sandro Demaio

To mark World Obesity Day, and due to popular demand, we hosted our fourth annual Rapid Talks series on Monday 6th March 2023. The theme this year is Changing Perspectives: Let’s talk about obesity.

Misconceptions about obesity lead to harmful shame and blame and minimise efforts to address obesity as a complex systems issue that needs coordinated action across all levels of society. This World Obesity Day’s theme challenges us to change the narrative around obesity by addressing these misconceptions.

This talk was presented by Sandro Demaio, VicHealth CEO, MBBS MPH PhD.
