Scope E-Learning: Obesity - Ethnicity
Health professionals need an understanding of the variations in obesity amongst different ethnic groups and the possible reasons for this in order to provide the best care. This module explores how obesity measures should be interpreted in the context of ethnicity, the latest trends in obesity figures amongst minority ethnic groups, variations in perception of weight between cultures and variations in genetic predisposition to obesity. Finally this module identifies the gaps in our knowledge regarding the diets, nutrition and health status of migrant groups where little research is available.
