The first project linked to the Alumni Wall has achieved its target. A total of €6,375 was raised to fund a research project on the social determinants of obesity in Spain. The project is being carried out by Athina Raftopoulou, a student enrolled in the Faculty’s doctoral programme in Economics. The aim is to analyse determinants of individual obesity risk based on an approach that considers the socio-economic context as well as personal factors. The results may prove very useful for improving policies aimed at preventing obesity and reducing its impact and the incidence of related diseases.
