Obesity: Biological, socio Cultural, and environmental risk Trajectories
About us
OBCT is a 5-year consortium project that started in November 2023, and is funded by the European Commission’s HORIZON EUROPE framework. Obesity in Europe disproportionately affects people and communities with a lower socioeconomic position (SEP). Effective approaches to prevent obesity require consideration of the complex and dynamic interplay between (SEP-specific) biological, sociocultural and environmental risk factors of obesity across the life course. OBCT provides health professionals, researchers, policy makers and the public with knowledge, maps and tools to support sustainable prevention of obesity, with a particular focus on low SEP communities.
