The data behind the global rise of chronic obesity
In short: Professor Steve Jones examines the alarming trajectory of the obesity epidemic over the last half-century. This lecture provides a data-driven look at how this growing health crisis will shape our collective future.
Drawing on fifty years of data, Professor Jones analyzes what he describes as a 'Tsunami of Lard'—a deadly and debilitating condition that has reached epidemic proportions. The presentation contextualizes these trends to project the long-term consequences for public health.
The lecture is part of Gresham College's long-standing tradition of providing free public education, a practice dating back to 1597.
