Preventing obesity at early stages of life. Discover how.
Obesity is one of the main population health threats worldwide, with a sustained increase in prevalence over the last decades and a constellation of co-morbidities that seriously hamper individual wellbeing and life-expectancy.
Effective prevention strategies are essential to avoid complications of overweight during the life-course.
eprObes is a European project promoted by 21 organisations from 7 European countries with a 10 million euros budget.
The global aim of eprObes is to identify factors related with excessive weight gain in critical early maturational periods, including peri- conceptional / gestational, early child development and puberty / adolescence, for setting tailored preventive measures to avoid obesity and its comorbidities in both sexes.
