Decreasing social inequalities in obesity

健康和肥胖是社会模式的，社会经济地位较低与健康状况较差和肥胖患病率较高有关。肥胖症的流行率很高，而且还在不断增加，很可能是造成健康方面社会不平等现象增加的一个重要因素。我将估计目前的肥胖趋势对澳大利亚成年人糖尿病和心血管疾病的社会不平等的贡献，并确定最有可能减少这些主要健康结果的社会不平等的肥胖预防和管理策略。

Health and obesity are socially patterned, with lower socio-economic status associated with worse health and higher obesity prevalence. With its high, and increasing prevalence, obesity is likely to be a substantial contributor to increased social inequalities in health. I will estimate the contribution of current obesity trends to social inequalities in diabetes and cardiovascular disease in Australian adults, and identify obesity prevention and management strategies most likely to reduce social inequalities in these major health outcomes.
