| dc.description.abstract | Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are some of the leading causes of death
worldwide. Obesity results from the interactions between biology, behaviour, and
environment. The current obesity epidemic is largely driven by environmental rather than
biological factors, through its influence on social norms regarding food choices and lifestyle
behaviours. The number of people dying from diabetes and hypertension keeps increasing
because of the current obesity trend. | en_US |
